[0032] Figure 1 This is a SEM image of the positive electrode lithium supplement prepared in Example 1 of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments are only to help understand the present invention and should not be regarded as specific limitations of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The process parameters of the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions are usually based on conventional conditions.

[0034] The endpoints and any values ​​of the ranges disclosed in the present invention are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values ​​should be understood to include values ​​close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values ​​of each range, the endpoint values ​​of each range and the individual point values, and the individual point values ​​can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be regarded as specifically disclosed in the present invention.

[0035] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a positive electrode lithium supplement, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0036] S1, mixing g-C3N4 nanosheets, lithium salt and NH4HCO3 in a solvent, and then performing solid-liquid separation to obtain a g-C3N4-LiOH precursor;

[0037] S2. Calcine the g-C3N4-LiOH precursor to obtain the positive electrode lithium supplement (g-C3N4-Li).

[0038] The role of NH4HCO3 in the present invention is: (1) Providing a nitrogen source: containing nitrogen, it may participate in the reaction as a nitrogen source in the subsequent reaction process. During the thermal calcination process, nitrogen can react chemically with other elements (such as carbon, etc.), which helps to form the nitrogen-containing structure of the target product. For example, it may interact with CNNSs and other additives, so that nitrogen atoms are embedded in the lattice structure of the product or form nitrogen-containing functional groups during high-temperature calcination, thereby changing the chemical composition and properties of the product. (2) Producing gas-assisted reactions: It is easy to decompose when heated to produce ammonia, carbon dioxide and water. The generation of these gases plays an important role in the reaction process. On the one hand, the escape of gas may cause a microscopic "stirring" effect in the reaction system, which helps to mix and contact between the raw materials and make the reaction more complete. On the other hand, the generated gas may participate in the morphology control of the product, for example, by adjusting the internal pressure and material transfer process, affecting the pore structure formation of the product or the degree of agglomeration of the particles, thereby obtaining a product with a specific microstructure. (3) Adjusting the pH value of the reaction system: NH4HCO3 is a weak acid and weak base salt that undergoes hydrolysis in solution. The ions produced by its hydrolysis can adjust the pH value of the reaction system. Appropriate pH has an important influence on the dissolution, precipitation, and polymerization of substances during the reaction. For example, it may affect the charge state of the CNNSs surface, allowing CNNSs to be better dispersed in the solution and avoid agglomeration. At the same time, a suitable pH environment is conducive to the dissolution of lithium salts and subsequent reactions with other substances, ensuring that the reaction can proceed smoothly in a suitable chemical environment.

[0039] The positive electrode lithium supplement prepared by the invention can improve the initial coulombic efficiency and cycle stability of lithium ion batteries.

[0040] In the above-mentioned method for preparing the positive electrode lithium supplement, as an optional embodiment, the method for preparing the g-C3N4 nanosheets comprises the following steps:

[0041] Urea is added into a covered crucible, and after the first calcination and cooling, the cover of the crucible is removed and the second calcination is performed to obtain the g-C3N4 nanosheets.

[0042] The present invention prepares g-C3N4 into nanosheets, introduces lithium elements and forms a g-C3N4-Li composite material, which not only improves the binding ability of g-C3N4 with lithium, but also maintains its structural stability and electronic conductivity. This is a key step in realizing the application of g-C3N4 as a lithium supplement in lithium-ion batteries.

[0043] In this embodiment, the functions of the lid during the first calcination are: (1) Controlling the atmosphere and the degree of reaction: Urea will undergo a series of chemical reactions such as decomposition and polycondensation during the heating process. Covering the lid helps to maintain a relatively closed air atmosphere inside the crucible, so that the gas and other substances produced by the decomposition of urea can participate in the reaction in a relatively limited space, which is conducive to the formation of some precursor substances in the initial stage and the orderly conduct of the initial polymerization reaction, and avoids excessive interference from the outside air, which may lead to disordered reaction process or the generation of some undesirable by-products. (2) Temperature uniformity and stability: The lid can reduce the rapid loss of heat, help the temperature inside the crucible to rise more evenly and remain stable, so that the materials in the entire crucible can react relatively synchronously and fully under the set temperature conditions, so that the reaction degree of each part of the material is relatively consistent, and ensure that the product obtained by the first calcination has the expected chemical composition and structural characteristics.

[0044] The purpose of removing the lid during the second calcination is: (1) Adjusting the reaction atmosphere and deep oxidation: After the first step of the reaction, a specific intermediate product (yellow product) has been generated. Removing the lid allows more air to enter the crucible, increasing the contact between oxygen and the intermediate product, promoting further oxidation reactions and structural rearrangement, and helping to transform the intermediate product into the target product, ultra-thin CNNSs, making the product structure more perfect and its performance more in line with the requirements. (2) Changing the atmosphere conditions to drive some subsequent reaction steps that need to occur in a relatively oxygen-rich environment, such as modifying the structure of carbon, nitrogen and other elements formed in the early stage, removing some residual small molecular impurities, etc., and obtaining purer and more ideal light yellow CNNSs through a sufficient oxidation process. (3) Different stages have different requirements for temperature, atmosphere and other conditions. The environmental changes after removing the lid can be combined with new heating conditions and other factors to fine-tune the key performance indicators of the product, such as crystallinity and specific surface area, so that the final CNNSs have better application potential.

[0045] In the above-mentioned method for preparing the positive electrode lithium supplement, as an optional embodiment, in the preparation process of the g-C3N4 nanosheet, the atmosphere of the first calcination is an air atmosphere, the heating rate of the first calcination is 5 to 10°C / min, for example, it can be 5°C / min, 7°C / min or 10°C / min, the temperature of the first calcination is 550 to 650°C, for example, it can be 550°C, 600°C or 650°C, the atmosphere of the second calcination is an air atmosphere, the heating rate of the second calcination is 1 to 10°C / min, for example, it can be 1°C / min, 5°C / min, 7°C / min or 10°C / min, and the temperature of the second calcination is 500 to 600°C, for example, it can be 500°C, 550°C or 600°C.

[0050] In the above-mentioned method for preparing a positive electrode lithium supplement, as an optional implementation, in step S1, after solid-liquid separation, the solid is washed multiple times with ethanol and water and then dried, wherein the drying temperature is 40 to 60°C, for example, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C or 60°C.

[0051] In the above-mentioned method for preparing a positive electrode lithium supplement, as an optional embodiment, in step S2, the calcination atmosphere includes one of an oxygen atmosphere and an air atmosphere, the calcination heating rate is 5 to 10°C / min, for example, it can be 5°C / min, 7°C / min or 10°C / min, and the calcination temperature is 300 to 400°C, for example, it can be 300°C, 320°C, 340°C, 360°C, 380°C or 400°C.

[0052] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a positive electrode lithium replenisher, which is prepared by the preparation method described in the first aspect, and the positive electrode lithium replenisher includes g-C3N4 and lithium loaded on the g-C3N4.

[0061] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and comparative examples.

[0062] Example 1

[0066] 2. Preparation of lithium supplement:

[0067] First, weigh 900 mg of g-C3N4 prepared in step 1, add it to 90 mL of anhydrous ethanol, and disperse it with ultrasound assistance for 1.5 hours to obtain a g-C3N4 suspension, then add 1 mmol LiCl and dissolve it in the above g-C3N4 suspension.
