Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrochemical materials technology, and more particularly to a method for preparing a tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Tungsten disulfide is one of the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to its unique layered structure and high theoretical specific capacity (432 mAh·g). -1 Tungsten disulfide nanosheets have attracted widespread attention from researchers (Chemical Communications. 50. 4192 (2014)). However, the layered tungsten disulfide nanosheets are bonded together by weak van der Waals forces, and during continuous charging and discharging, the nanosheets are prone to folding and stacking, leading to structural collapse and affecting battery performance. At the same time, the poor conductivity of tungsten disulfide is also one of the main factors restricting its performance.

[0003] To overcome these shortcomings, researchers have explored various nanostructure designs, including WS2 nanowires, WS2 nanosheets, WS2 nanoflowers, and WS2 nanofibers, as anode materials for sodium-ion battery systems (Electrochimica Acta. 302. 259 (2019)). Although the sodium storage capacity of tungsten disulfide has been improved to some extent, its insufficient structural strength results in poor long-term cycle stability. Graphene, as a flexible carbon material with good electrical properties and high chemical stability, is often combined with other transition metal sulfides to form various high-performance composite materials and used as electrode materials for various energy storage systems (Energy Storage Materials. 24. 22 (2020)). However, there is limited research on graphene-tungsten disulfide composite materials, and the sodium storage capacity of the reported composite materials can still be improved (Advanced Energy Materials. 6. 1601057 (2016)). Achieving excellent synergistic effects between tungsten disulfide and graphene through superior structural design and improving their sodium storage capacity remains a challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing tungsten disulfide / graphene composite materials and their applications. Tungsten salt is deposited on the surface of silicon spheres modified with graphene oxide, followed by a high-temperature sulfidation reaction and subsequent treatment with alkaline and acidic solutions to obtain the tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material. This preparation method is simple to operate and easy to mass-produce. The prepared tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material has a three-dimensional hierarchical porous structure and exhibits excellent electrochemical performance as a negative electrode material for sodium-ion batteries.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0006] This invention provides a method for preparing a tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Under an inert atmosphere, the surface of the silica ball alcohol dispersion was modified with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane by constant temperature reflux to obtain surface functional group modified silica balls. The surface functional group modified silica balls and graphene oxide were ultrasonically dispersed in an alcohol solution and stirred to obtain graphene oxide / silicon ball composite.

[0008] (2) Tungsten salt is deposited on the graphene oxide / silicon sphere composite obtained in step (1) by co-precipitation to obtain a precursor mixture;

[0009] (3) The precursor mixture and sulfur source obtained in step (2) are transferred to a high-temperature reactor under an inert atmosphere;

[0010] (4) Place the high-temperature reactor from step (3) into a muffle furnace and use a programmed heating method to raise the temperature to the final temperature of 300-600℃ and then keep it constant.

[0011] (5) The product obtained in step (4) is subjected to alkali treatment, washing, and drying to obtain silicon sphere / tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material.

[0012] (6) The product obtained in step (5) is subjected to acid treatment, washing, and drying to obtain tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material.

[0015] Further, in step (3), the inert atmosphere is one or a mixture of argon, nitrogen, and helium; the sulfur source is any one of carbon disulfide, sodium sulfide, potassium sulfide, ammonium sulfide, and thioacetamide; and the mass ratio of tungsten salt to sulfur source is 1:0.5-2.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (4), the programmed temperature rise process involves raising the temperature to the endpoint temperature at a rate of 1 to 20 °C / min, with a holding time of 2 to 6 hours.

[0017] Further, in step (5), the alkali in the alkali treatment is a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 1-8 mol / L or a potassium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 1-8 mol / L, the alkali treatment time is 2-6 h, the alkali treatment temperature is 60-100 °C, the drying temperature is 25-80 °C, and the drying time is 4-48 h.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (6), the acid used in the acid treatment is a hydrofluoric acid solution with a concentration of 5-20%, and the acid treatment time is 4-48 hours; the drying temperature is 25-80°C, and the drying time is 4-48 hours.

[0019] In another aspect, the present invention provides a tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method, wherein the tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material has a three-dimensional hierarchical porous structure.

[0020] The present invention also provides an application of the above-mentioned tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material, wherein the composite material is used as a negative electrode material in a sodium-ion battery system.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material of the present invention has a three-dimensional hierarchical porous structure. When used as a negative electrode material for sodium-ion batteries, it ensures sufficient contact between the electrode material and the electrolyte, shortens the diffusion path of ions, and improves the sodium storage capacity of the material. The introduction of graphene improves the conductivity of the material and also enhances the cycle stability of the material in long-term charge-discharge tests.

[0023] 2. This invention directly obtains tungsten disulfide / graphene composite material through high-temperature batch reaction, without the need for additional calcination and carbonization processes, making the preparation process simple.

[0024] 3. The method of the present invention can be used to prepare large quantities of tungsten disulfide / graphene composite materials with a wide range of applications, and the resulting tungsten disulfide / graphene composite materials have potential application prospects in the field of energy storage.
