Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the preparation of functional materials, specifically to a flower-shaped bismuth disulfide / tungsten disulfide composite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] As a mature and commercially viable energy storage system, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in various electronic devices and electric vehicles due to their high energy density and environmental friendliness. However, the limited reserves of lithium on Earth significantly restrict its application in large-scale energy storage systems. Benefiting from the abundant and widely distributed nature of potassium and its similar physicochemical properties to lithium, potassium-ion batteries are considered the most likely next-generation battery product to replace lithium-ion batteries.
[0003] As a typical transition metal disulfide, WS2 (tungsten disulfide) is characterized by SWS covalent bonds within the layers and van der Waals forces between the layers, exhibiting a large interlayer spacing (0.64 nm) and weak interlayer interactions, thus providing abundant K-retaining capacity. + (Potassium ion) active sites and unobstructed K+ + Insertion / extraction channel. However, during charging and discharging, K... + The repeated insertion / extraction and WS2-W transformations lead to excessive expansion / contraction of WS2, causing WS2 active material to pulverize and resulting in structural instability, leading to capacity decay and poor cycle stability. Furthermore, as an intrinsic semiconductor, WS2 has poor conductivity and slow charge transport in the electrodes, resulting in slower electrochemical reactions during charge and discharge and exhibiting poor rate capability. To address these issues, most researchers have attempted to improve its structural stability and conductivity through four main approaches: optimizing the WS2 crystal structure, compositing with carbon materials, nanoengineering WS2, and constructing WS2 heterojunctions.

[0063] The following is an application analysis of this embodiment:
[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the product obtained in Example 3 was analyzed using a Rigaku D / max2000PC X-ray diffractometer, and the XRD pattern of the composite material was obtained. The diffraction peaks of the obtained product are consistent with the standard cards for bismuth disulfide (PDF#17-0267) and tungsten disulfide (PDF#08-0237), indicating that the bismuth disulfide / tungsten disulfide composite material was successfully prepared. The broad diffraction peaks indicate that its crystallinity is low.
[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, the product obtained in Example 3 was observed under a scanning electron microscope. The composite material exhibits a nano-flower-shaped structure with numerous nanosheets on its surface. The obtained product was then used to prepare a button-type sodium-ion battery. The specific encapsulation steps are as follows: The flower-shaped bismuth disulfide / tungsten disulfide composite material prepared in Example 3, the conductive agent (Super P), and the binder (carboxymethyl cellulose CMC) were ground uniformly in a mass ratio of 7:2:1 to form a slurry. The slurry was then uniformly coated onto copper foil using a coating applicator and dried in a vacuum drying oven at 70°C for 12 hours. Afterward, the electrode sheets were assembled into a potassium-ion half-cell. A constant current charge-discharge test was performed on the battery using a Xinwei electrochemical workstation, with a test voltage of 0.01V-3.0V. The resulting material was then assembled into a button cell to test its potassium-ion battery negative electrode material performance. Figure 3 As shown, at a current density of 100 mA / g, the initial capacity of the bismuth disulfide / tungsten disulfide composite material is approximately 400 mAh / g, while the initial capacity of pure tungsten disulfide is approximately 200 mAh / g. This demonstrates a significant improvement in the capacity of the composite material, and the bismuth disulfide / tungsten disulfide composite material exhibits slower capacity decay and better cycle performance. Figure 4 As shown, the comparison between the bismuth disulfide / tungsten disulfide composite material and pure tungsten disulfide shows that the capacity of the bismuth disulfide / tungsten disulfide composite material is significantly improved at current densities of 0.2 A / g, 0.5 A / g, 1 A / g, 2 A / g, and 5 A / g, respectively.
[0066] The composite material obtained by the preparation method of this invention has a self-assembled hydrangea-like structure with a diameter of 350-400 nm on which nanosheets with a thickness of 20-30 nm are vertically grown. The obtained composite material can be used in the preparation of potassium-ion battery anode materials, making the structure more stable, the conductivity better, and greatly improving the electrochemical performance.
