Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of new materials and electrochemistry, and particularly relates to an organic small molecule-based superlattice copper selenide composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a new type of green electrochemical secondary energy storage device, aqueous zinc-ion batteries have become a research hotspot to replace traditional organic lithium-ion batteries in large-scale power devices and wearable electronic devices due to their low cost, excellent safety and biocompatibility. However, the corrosion, passivation and hydrogen evolution problems of high-activity zinc metal negative electrode in weak acid aqueous electrolyte seriously limit the cycle stability of the battery and reduce its durability in practical application systems. At the same time, the continuous uneven stripping / deposition of zinc ions on the negative electrode surface can easily cause dendrite growth and cause short circuits, further shortening the service life of the aqueous zinc-ion battery. Although metal surface coating modification, electrolyte optimization and electrode structure design can alleviate the occurrence of side reactions at the electrode and solution interface, they cannot fundamentally solve the problem of high activity of zinc metal. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high-stability alternative negative electrode materials with excellent zinc storage capacity to solve the great challenges faced by aqueous batteries. At present, elemental and transition metal compound type negative electrodes mainly based on sulfur family elements (S, Se and Te) have attracted widespread attention due to their rich resources, easy-to-adjust structure composition and multi-electron redox energy storage mechanism. Among them, zincophilic transition metal selenides have the conductivity of metal and high theoretical capacity, and can maintain high coulombic efficiency during long cycle tests, and can reversibly store zinc ions in a conversion-type reaction to the greatest extent. Compared with the structural collapse caused by the rapid insertion / deintercalation of zinc ions in the intercalation process, transition metal selenide can maintain the integrity of the structure during repeated charge and discharge cycles through solid-solid conversion reaction. However, due to the slow zinc ion diffusion dynamics in the material bulk phase, the electrochemical performance of transition metal selenide negative electrode is generally limited by the insufficient reversible capacity release at high current density, which leads to the imbalance of the proportion of positive and negative electrode materials in aqueous zinc-ion batteries, and the overall power density is low. Therefore, the development of new high-energy transition metal compound negative electrode materials through crystal structure optimization and design to reduce the zinc ion diffusion barrier and improve the rate performance is the key to realizing high-power practical zinc-ion batteries.

[0003] Li et al. (J. Li., ACS Nano 2023, 17, 18507-18516.) prepared a non-stoichiometric cubic phase copper selenide material by chemical precipitation method, which confirmed its great potential as a metal-free negative electrode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The cubic phase copper selenide material can exhibit excellent zinc storage behavior under high area loading conditions, and still has a capacity of 3.1 mAh cm -2high reversible capacity. However, the zinc ion migration rate of the copper selenide bulk phase material without morphology regulation and crystal structure modification is still too low, and the capacity retention rate at different rates cannot adapt to the positive electrode material. Li Qingwen et al. (CN118026152A) synthesized a one-dimensional carbon-coated copper selenide nanowire coaxial heterostructure material by chemical vapor deposition method. The specific surface area of the material is increased and the ion diffusion path is effectively shortened through one-dimensional structure design, and the external carbon layer and the heterostructure cooperatively improve the transmission rate of the electrode surface electrons, thereby improving the rate performance and stability of copper selenide. However, the high temperature and too complex material synthesis steps are not conducive to the green batch preparation of the electrode in the actual system. Cui Fuhan et al. (CN117855469A) prepared a new type of high-activity nanoscale ruthenium selenide negative electrode material, which can be compatible with a wide pH electrolyte system from alkaline to acidic. The water-based zinc ion full battery assembled by the ruthenium selenide and manganese dioxide exhibits a reversible capacity of 147 mAh g -1 and can be stably operated for 100 cycles. However, due to the heavy atomic mass of ruthenium atoms, the theoretical specific capacity thereof is insufficient to achieve sufficient zinc storage behavior at a large current density. Meanwhile, under the limitation of a higher zinc ion diffusion barrier, frequent charge and discharge behavior can cause the crushing and pulverization of the electrode, resulting in rapid decay of the reversible capacity and poor cycle stability. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to develop a transition metal selenide composite material with excellent rate performance, long cycle service life and low cost, in order to solve the problems of low reversible capacity, slow zinc ion diffusion kinetics, poor structural stability, high energy consumption of the preparation method, and complicated process of the current metal-free based negative electrode.
