Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation, and in particular relates to a single-atom cobalt-doped carbon fiber material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of portable electronics, electrified transportation, and smart grids, lithium-ion batteries are facing enormous consumer demand. Therefore, the development of alternative battery systems has aroused great interest among scientists and industry. For example, potassium-ion batteries have attracted widespread attention due to their comparable operating voltage and power density to lithium-ion batteries. More importantly, potassium resources are abundant and virtually inexhaustible. These advantages give potassium-ion batteries great potential for large-scale energy storage applications and are considered one of the more promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] Among the negative electrode materials of potassium ion batteries, metallic potassium has the lowest redox potential (-2.93 V vs SHE) and high specific capacity (687 mAh g -1 ), which helps to achieve high specific energy in potassium-based batteries. In addition, potassium metal anodes will also open up opportunities for new high-energy battery systems such as KS, K-O2 and K-Br, which can significantly improve the energy storage density. Although potassium metal batteries have many attractive properties, they have not yet been commercialized due to unresolved issues such as potassium dendrite growth, unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and large volume changes of potassium anode during cycling. During the reaction process, uneven potassium deposition and volume changes often destroy the fragile SEI layer, resulting in more parasitic reactions between potassium and electrolyte, aggravating potassium dendrite growth, and ultimately leading to capacity decay and causing safety issues in battery operation (including fire and explosion).

[0004] Slowing down or inhibiting dendrite growth is crucial for the development of potassium metal anodes. Three-dimensional conductive carbon-based hosts have good prospects in the application of potassium metal anodes. Their advantages are: (1) potassium metal can be encapsulated in the host, thereby reducing the chance of side reactions between alkali metals and electrolytes; (2) the host can improve the structural stability of the metal anode by buffering volume changes; (3) the host can provide a conductive network, induce rapid ion / electron transfer, reduce local current density, and further hinder dendrite growth. In addition, the surface of the single-atom cobalt-doped carbon fiber host has abundant and uniformly dispersed potassium-philic sites, which is conducive to the uniform electroplating of potassium, thereby improving the cycle stability of the battery.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention proposes a single-atom cobalt-doped carbon fiber material and its preparation method and application. A carbon fiber material with uniformly dispersed single-atom cobalt is prepared by electrospinning, and the content of single-atom cobalt is 1.0wt% to 9.0wt%. The carbon fiber material has an interconnected carbon fiber network with multi-layer porosity, which is beneficial to maintaining the accessibility of single-atom cobalt sites and inhibiting their agglomeration, thereby guiding uniform potassium nucleation and growth, thereby inhibiting the formation of dendrites at the potassium negative electrode; the prepared single-atom cobalt-doped carbon fiber / potassium composite negative electrode has super strong cycle stability.

[0063] (4) The obtained spun film was pre-oxidized at 230°C in air for 2 h at a heating rate of 5°C / min. After pre-oxidation, it was carbonized at 1000°C in a nitrogen atmosphere in a tubular furnace for 2 h at a heating rate of 5°C / min, ultimately obtaining a single-atom cobalt-doped carbon fiber material.

[0064] Example 3:

A button cell was assembled in a glove box (water and oxygen contents were both less than 0.01 ppm) for electrodeposition. The electrolyte was 4 M KTFSI dissolved in EMC (diethyl carbonate), and the constant current was 0.2 mA cm -2 After 30 hours of deposition, a carbon fiber / potassium composite electrode was obtained. The carbon fiber / potassium composite anode served as the counter and working electrodes in a button cell. The separator was glass fiber, and the electrolyte was 4MKFSI dissolved in EMC (diethyl carbonate). The cycling performance of potassium deposition and stripping was measured at 25±1°C.

At a current density of 0.5 mA cm -2 , with an areal capacity of 0.5 mAh cm -2 The short circuit occurred after only 60 h of stable cycling, indicating severe dendrite growth.
