Abstract

The invention relates to a room temperature sodium-sulfur battery positive electrode material and a preparation method and an application thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps of S1, blending polyacrylonitrile and sulfur powder, ball milling and calcining to obtain a sulfurized polyacrylonitrile precursor material; S2, polymerizing pyrrole monomers on the precursor material in situ to obtain a polypyrrole (PPy) nanolayer; S3, annealing the material obtained in the step S2 to obtain the room temperature sodium-sulfur battery positive electrode material. The surface of sulfurized polyacrylonitrile is coated with an N-doped carbon layer, thereby being capable of well playing a role of protecting and stabilizing the electrode. Meanwhile, the doping of the element N can acceleratethe kinetic process of the electrochemical reaction, reduce the polarization in the electrochemical reaction process, improve the discharge voltage platform of the battery and thus improve the energydensity of the battery. Furthermore, the positive electrode material is carbonized at a low temperature, thereby avoiding the loss of sulfur; and the obtained positive electrode material has excellent cycle performance, stable Coulomb efficiency, high specific capacity and excellent electrochemical performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sodium-sulfur batteries, and in particular relates to a room-temperature sodium-sulfur battery cathode material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to the high energy density of lithium-sulfur batteries and the cost of sulfur cathodes, scientists have conducted extensive and in-depth research on lithium-sulfur batteries in the past two decades. However, from the perspective of sustainability and economy, since the Li content in the earth's crust is limited (0.0065%), it is a rare metal, so it seems to be a better choice to replace lithium and sulfur with sodium to form a high-capacity battery, especially for for large-scale energy storage systems. In the past few years, high-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries (temperatures greater than 300 °C) have been successfully commercialized for use in static energy storage systems. However, the traditional sodium-s...
