Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a preparation method and application of a hollow reticular spherical structure Co-CoSe@C heterostructure lithium-sulfur battery composite material, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode materials. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSB) as the next generation of electrochemical energy storage systems have attracted extensive attention due to high specific capacity (1675 mAh g -1 ), energy density (2600 Wh Kg -1 ), low cost and environmental friendliness. However, lithium sulfide produced in the battery discharge process has intrinsic insulating properties, a shuttle effect of polysulfides and a large volume change in the process of multi-phase reversible conversion, which together cause slow reaction kinetics of the LSB and limit the application of lithium-sulfur batteries. Traditional spherical catalytic hosts have the characteristics of rich sulfur storage space and high conductivity, but from a macroscopic point of view, the catalytic conversion process of the polysulfides is a kind of face-to-face contact, and the effective active sites provided are limited. Therefore, how to improve the contact area between the catalytic host and the active material sulfur and increase the effective catalytic sites of the sulfur electrochemical process is the key to promoting the catalytic conversion of polysulfides. Here, a Co-CoSe@C heterostructure with a hollow reticular spherical structure is developed by an excess impregnation combined with a gas deposition method. Due to the unique design of the inner tube of the spherical structure, the high specific surface area of the carbon nanotube is characterized, the size of the active material in the conductive carbon sphere is effectively reduced under the condition of ensuring sulfur loading. This kind of spherical inner reticular structure can disperse the heterostructure in the ball, can disperse and anchor the active material to form a high-density active site. This increases the effective contact area with the catalytic site and improves the catalytic efficiency, which is of great significance for inhibiting the shuttle effect, promoting the catalytic conversion of polysulfides and improving the electrochemical properties of lithium-sulfur batteries.

[0110] Comparative Example 2: Preparation method of CoSe@C

[0111] The hollow reticulated spherical structure of CoSe@C lithium-sulfur battery composite material and its preparation method provided by Comparative Example 2 are different from the preparation method of the Co-CoSe@C heterostructure material of Example 1 only in that the mass ratio of cobalt precursor powder to selenium powder in the vapor deposition selenization process in step 5 is adjusted from 1:0.7 to 1:1, and the other steps are completely consistent with the Co-CoSe@C heterostructure material method.

[0112] Preparation of the battery:

Figure 7

The sample presents a hollow spherical shape, and the carbon spheres after loading of sulfur still maintain a high degree of sphericity, the carbon nanotubes are distributed in the spheres in a reticular structure, and the heterostructure particles are dispersed in the carbon nanotubes, and the diameter of the spheres is about 250 nm.

Compared with the XRD images of the Co@C heterostructure and CoSe@C, all the diffraction peaks of the Co-CoSe@C heterostructure of the hollow reticular spherical structure of Example 1 can be well matched with the PDF standard card: PDF#15-0806 and PDF#97-062-4983, the characteristic peaks of the heterostructure are complete and there is no impurity phase, indicating that it is successfully constructed.​​​

[0122] Figure 5 The rate performance plots of the hollow reticular spherical structure Co-CoSe@C heterostructure lithium-sulfur battery composite material prepared in Example 1 of the present application and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested in the voltage range of 1.8-4.0 V. At current densities of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 5.0 C, the specific capacity of the hollow reticular spherical structure Co-CoSe@C heterostructure lithium-sulfur battery composite material of Example 1 was higher at 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 C and 5.0 C, respectively, and exhibited excellent rate performance. This is because the Co and CoSe nanoparticles in the Co-CoSe@C heterostructure are uniformly dispersed in the carbon matrix, forming abundant active sites. These active sites can effectively adsorb polysulfides, on the one hand reducing the dissolution and shuttling of polysulfides in the electrolyte, and on the other hand promoting the rapid conversion of polysulfides, thereby accelerating the charge transfer process.

[0123] Figure 6 The cycle performance plots of the hollow reticular spherical structure Co-CoSe@C heterostructure lithium-sulfur battery composite material prepared in Example 1 of the present application and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested at a current density of 1 C. The initial specific capacity of Example 1 was 683.02 mAh / g, and after 100 cycles, the discharge specific capacity was 586.3 mAh / g, with a capacity retention rate of 85.8%. The initial discharge specific capacity of Comparative Example 1 was 602.8 mAh / g, and after 100 cycles, the discharge specific capacity was 449.7 mAh / g, with a capacity retention rate of 74.6%. The initial specific capacity of Comparative Example 2 was 519.63 mAh / g, and after 100 cycles, the discharge specific capacity was 436.2 mAh / g, with a capacity retention rate of 83.9%. It can be seen that, compared with Co@C and CoSe@C, the hollow reticular spherical structure Co-CoSe@C heterostructure of the present application has higher specific capacity and capacity retention rate. This is because the hollow reticular spherical structure Co-CoSe@C heterostructure can accelerate the adsorption and conversion of polysulfides, and during the charging and discharging process, polysulfides can be effectively confined inside the hollow structure, reducing their shuttling in the electrolyte, thereby inhibiting the loss of active material. In addition, the Co-CoSe@C heterostructure itself has good electrical conductivity, which cooperates with the carbon matrix to accelerate the charge transfer.

[0124] Figure 7The cycle performance graph of the hollow reticular spherical structure Co-CoSe@C heterostructure lithium-sulfur battery composite material prepared for the embodiment 1 of the present application is tested at a current density of 4C. The initial specific capacity of embodiment 1 is 541.2 mAh / g, and the discharge specific capacity is 338.6 mAh / g after 500 cycles, and the capacity retention rate is 62.6%. It can be seen that the hollow reticular spherical structure Co-CoSe@C heterostructure lithium-sulfur battery composite material still has good cycle performance after 500 cycles at high rate. Because the unique hollow reticular spherical design of the Co-CoSe@C heterostructure can provide sufficient storage space for polysulfides, effectively inhibits the shuttle effect of polysulfides, thereby reducing the loss of active materials. At the same time, the reticular spherical structure increases the specific surface area of the material, so that the contact between the electrode and the electrolyte is more sufficient, promoting the rapid diffusion of ions and the efficient transmission of electric charge.

[0125] In summary, the present application uses the Co-CoSe@C heterostructure composite material with a "carbon sphere-carbon nanotube" hollow reticular spherical structure as a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material, and compared with materials without the heterostructure, the rate and cycle performance are better, and the discharge specific capacity is higher, which benefits from the unique structure design. The "carbon sphere-carbon nanotube" hollow reticular spherical Co-CoSe@C heterostructure due to the unique staggered network structure, helps to fix the additional active material to the carbon nanotubes inside the shell layer, thereby increasing the contact area between the catalytic host and the active material, reducing the size of the active material inside the sphere, significantly improving the chemical adsorption capacity and catalytic activity of polysulfides, effectively relieving the shuttle effect and improving the reaction kinetics of lithium-sulfur batteries.
