Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material preparation, and particularly to a cathode material for a lithium-sulfide battery and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Problems such as the relatively low specific energy density, insufficient service life, and environmental pollution of the currently widely used lithium iron phosphate / C and ternary material / C systems of lithium-ion batteries have severely restricted the in-depth application and development of lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] Lithium-sulfur batteries have high specific capacity and energy density. At the same time, sulfur has a rich storage capacity and is environmentally friendly with little pollution to the environment. Therefore, lithium-sulfur batteries are considered to be a very promising type of lithium battery. However, lithium-sulfur batteries have certain problems and disadvantages, such as the shuttle effect of polysulfide compounds, the low electrical conductivity of sulfur elements, and volume expansion during the cycling process. At the same time, lithium metal generates lithium dendrites during the cycling process, which can cause the diaphragm to be pierced, resulting in battery short-circuit and triggering battery safety problems, thus restricting the practical application of the lithium-sulfur battery system. Lithium sulfide (Li2S), as the lithiated product of sulfur, is used as the cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. It can provide lithium ions by itself, avoiding the use of metallic lithium as the anode, thereby effectively eliminating potential safety hazards. Moreover, for lithium sulfide-based materials, charging is carried out first and then discharging, so the destruction of the material structure caused by volume expansion can be avoided, and better electrochemical performance can be obtained. It is a lithium-ion battery cathode material with great development potential. However, lithium sulfide has active chemical properties and easily reacts with moisture in the air to generate toxic gas H2S. Moreover, lithium sulfide exhibits electron and ion insulation, so the electrochemical activity of the lithium-sulfide battery cathode material is relatively low. At the same time, during the charge and discharge process, the dissolution, diffusion, and shuttle effect of polysulfide ions still exist, and the battery will still show serious capacity attenuation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above deficiencies, the embodiments of the present application provide a cathode material for a lithium-sulfide battery and a preparation method thereof.

A layer of porous MXene microgel is also coated outside the cathode material to act as a diaphragm, avoiding the reaction of lithium sulfide with moisture in the external air to generate toxic gas H2S. This preparation method can not only effectively improve the electronic conductivity, loading amount, and utilization rate of the sulfur-lithium cathode active substance, but also alleviate the dissolution problem of intermediate polysulfide ions, improve the battery cycle stability, and make it possible to obtain high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries.
