[0002] Lithium is used as a negative electrode material in lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries. Transition metal sulfides, due to their weaker bond energies compared to transition metal oxides, exhibit better conductivity and diffusion kinetics for lithium and sodium ions, and also possess higher theoretical capacity. Furthermore, the lower barrier to ion migration and intercalation reactions, coupled with the interlayer spacing of layered transition metal sulfides, facilitates the rapid diffusion, intercalation, and deintercalation of lithium and sodium ions, thus demonstrating significant potential in lithium and sodium storage applications.

[0003] In the prior art, to improve the conductivity of transition metal sulfides, patent application CN110690419A discloses a composite material in which transition metal sulfides are intercalated on the surface of carbon microspheres as a supporting framework. However, the resulting composite material still needs improvement in terms of conductivity, rate performance, and charge-discharge cycle life. Furthermore, methods for preparing transition metal sulfides include hydrothermal synthesis and chemical vapor deposition, but these methods still suffer from low efficiency and the performance of the obtained composite materials needs further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a method for preparing a bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material and the application of the prepared material, in order to overcome the core technical problem in the prior art that tungsten sulfide nucleation is difficult and it is difficult to form a uniform and well-structured heterojunction with a carbon substrate.

[0005] The inventive concept of this invention lies in introducing trace amounts of zinc sulfide (ZnS) as tungsten sulfide. The nucleation active sites of the two sulfides are used to achieve uniform and compact composite on the bio-carbon substrate through a stepwise nucleation-epitaxy growth mechanism.

[0006] Specifically, the present invention provides a method for preparing a bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material, comprising: S1. Dissolve sodium tungstate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, sodium hydroxide, thiourea and zinc chloride in deionized water and stir until homogeneous to obtain a pale yellow and transparent reaction solution. S2. Prepare biochar. Mix the reaction solution with the biochar in a reaction vessel and carry out a hydrothermal reaction at a constant temperature for 8 to 48 hours. The constant temperature is any temperature between 180 degrees Celsius and 240 degrees Celsius. S3. The product obtained in step S2 is filtered, washed and dried to obtain a heterojunction composite material precursor. S4. The heterojunction composite material precursor is calcined in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material, wherein the calcination temperature is 850~950 degrees Celsius.

[0007] Further, in the reaction solution described in step S1, the concentration of sodium tungstate is 0.05~0.2 mol / L, the concentration of zinc chloride is 0.0005~0.1 mol / L, the concentration of hydroxylamine hydrochloride is 0.1~0.6 mol / L, the concentration of sodium hydroxide is 0.01~0.2 mol / L, and the concentration of thiourea is 0.1~0.9 mol / L.

[0008] Furthermore, the hydrothermal reaction described in step S2 is carried out under a pressure of 1.5 MPa to 3.5 MPa, and the deviation between the constant temperature and the set temperature does not exceed ±0.5 degrees Celsius.

[0009] Furthermore, after step S3, a repeating reaction step is included: the heterojunction composite material precursor is mixed and reacted with the reaction solution newly prepared in step S1, and then washed and dried; the repeating reaction step is performed 1 to 5 times.

[0010] Furthermore, the biochar density is 0.05~0.15 g / L. It is made by carbonizing balsa wood at 850-950 degrees Celsius.

[0011] The present invention also provides a bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material, which is prepared by the preparation method of the bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material described above.

[0012] Furthermore, in the composite material, both zinc sulfide and tungsten sulfide are two-dimensional nanosheets of 100~300 nm. The tungsten sulfide nanosheets grow with zinc sulfide as the nucleation site, and the two are anchored together on the surface of bio-carbon with a honeycomb three-dimensional structure.

[0013] Furthermore, tungsten sulfide accounts for 10% to 80% of the mass, and zinc sulfide accounts for 0.2% to 0.5% of the mass.

[0014] The present invention also provides a negative electrode for lithium-ion batteries, comprising the aforementioned bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material.

In the heterojunction composite material prepared thereby, the bio-carbon with a honeycomb three-dimensional structure acts as a reinforcing agent, making the heterojunction composite material structurally stable. Tungsten sulfide and zinc sulfide nanosheets are uniformly anchored on the surface of bio-carbon, thus exhibiting good capacitance and charge transport performance. It can be used as an electrode material for lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries with high capacity, high rate performance, and long cycle life. In addition, by using bio-carbon as a carbon source, the structural stability and electrochemical activity during the insertion (deintercalation) of lithium ions and sodium ions are improved, which is beneficial to achieving high rate performance and cycle stability.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of one or more embodiments of this specification clearer, the technical solutions of one or more embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this specification, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of one or more embodiments of this specification.

[0020] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this application to describe various information, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a method for preparing a bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Dissolve sodium tungstate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, sodium hydroxide, thiourea, and zinc chloride in deionized water and stir until homogeneous to obtain a pale yellow and transparent reaction solution.

[0022] In this step, sodium tungstate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, sodium hydroxide, thiourea, and zinc chloride are dissolved together in deionized water. The mixture is stirred until thoroughly homogeneous, resulting in a pale yellow, transparent reaction solution. The concentrations of each substance in the reaction solution must be controlled within specific ranges: sodium tungstate 0.05–0.2 mol / L, zinc chloride 0.0005–0.1 mol / L, hydroxylamine hydrochloride 0.1–0.6 mol / L, sodium hydroxide 0.01–0.2 mol / L, and thiourea 0.1–0.9 mol / L. To ensure sufficient sulfur source, the molar ratio of hydroxylamine hydrochloride to thiourea can be controlled within the range of 1:1–1.5, and the zinc chloride concentration should not exceed the sodium tungstate concentration. This prevents the two substances from crowding out the sulfur source and inhibiting the formation of tungsten sulfide, while also preventing excessive nitrogen gas production due to high concentrations of sodium tungstate and zinc chloride, which could lead to excessive pressure in the reactor during the subsequent step S2.

[0023] Step S2: Prepare biochar. Mix the reaction solution with the biochar in a reactor and carry out a hydrothermal reaction at a constant temperature for 8 to 48 hours. The constant temperature is any temperature between 180 degrees Celsius and 240 degrees Celsius.

[0024] In this step, biochar is obtained by carbonizing balsa wood at 850-950 degrees Celsius, and its density is 0.05-0.15 g / L. In the reaction vessel, the reaction solution prepared in step S1 is mixed with the biochar to undergo a hydrothermal reaction. This hydrothermal reaction is carried out at a constant temperature, which is any temperature within the range of 180°C to 240°C, and the deviation of this constant temperature from the set temperature does not exceed ±0.5°C. The reaction time is 8 to 48 hours, and the reaction time can be adjusted according to the appropriate reaction temperature. Simultaneously, the hydrothermal reaction is carried out under a pressure of 1.5 MPa to 3.5 MPa. This pressure condition can accelerate the wetting process of the reaction solution on the biochar and improve the reaction efficiency. Through this hydrothermal reaction, zinc sulfide and tungsten sulfide can be co-grown in situ on the surface of biochar. Tungsten sulfide nanosheets grow using zinc sulfide as nucleation sites, and both are anchored on the biochar surface. By adjusting the reaction time, two-dimensional nanosheets of zinc sulfide and tungsten sulfide with a size of 100 to 300 nm can be generated. This size of nanosheet is beneficial for the transport of lithium ions, sodium ions, etc.

[0025] Step S3: The product obtained in step S2 is filtered, washed and dried to obtain a heterojunction composite material precursor.

[0026] In this step, the product obtained from the hydrothermal reaction in step S2 is filtered. Filtration can be performed using conventional methods such as atmospheric pressure filtration, vacuum filtration, or hot filtration. After filtration, the product is washed using deionized water or ethanol as the washing solution, and the washing can be performed 1-5 times. The washed product is then dried using atmospheric pressure drying or vacuum drying at a temperature of 30-80 degrees Celsius. After the above filtration, washing, and drying processes, a heterojunction composite material precursor is obtained. This precursor can be used in subsequent calcination steps, or the reaction steps can be repeated as needed, i.e., the precursor is mixed with a freshly prepared reaction solution, reacted, and then washed and dried again.

[0027] Step S4: The heterojunction composite material precursor is calcined in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material, wherein the calcination temperature is 850~950 degrees Celsius.

[0028] In step S4, the heterojunction composite material precursor obtained in step S3 is calcined in an inert gas atmosphere, wherein the inert gas atmosphere is a nitrogen or argon atmosphere, and the calcination temperature is controlled at 850~950 degrees Celsius. After this calcination treatment, a bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material is obtained. In this composite material, both zinc sulfide and tungsten sulfide are two-dimensional nanosheets of 100~300 nm, wherein the tungsten sulfide nanosheets grow with zinc sulfide as the nucleation active site, and both are anchored on the surface of bio-carbon with a honeycomb three-dimensional structure. The mass percentage of tungsten sulfide is 10%~80%, and the mass percentage of zinc sulfide is 0.2%~0.5%.

[0029] The aforementioned "constant temperature" can be, for example, a temperature within the range of 180 to 240 degrees Celsius. That is, the reaction temperature can be kept constant at a specific temperature between 180 and 240 degrees Celsius. For example, it could be a specific temperature selected from 180 to 240 degrees Celsius, such as 180 degrees Celsius, 185 degrees Celsius, 190 degrees Celsius, 195 degrees Celsius, 200 degrees Celsius, or 205 degrees Celsius. For instance, with a constant temperature of 190 degrees Celsius, the temperature fluctuation of the reaction system is controlled within ±0.5 degrees Celsius, meaning the reaction temperature is between 189.5 degrees Celsius and 190.5 degrees Celsius.

[0030] The aforementioned "biocarbon" refers to a porous carbon processed from biological organic matter, such as animal and plant tissues. Examples of biocarbon include charcoal, carbonized organic waste, carbonized animal and plant tissues, and carbonized animal excrement. The preferred density of the aforementioned biocarbon is 0.05~0.15 g / L. By setting the density of biochar to 0.05~0.15 g / L... The aforementioned biochar can be obtained, for example, by calcining natural wood. The calcination temperature can be, for example, 850-950 degrees Celsius, and the aforementioned natural wood is preferably balsa wood.

[0031] In some embodiments, the reaction is preferably carried out under conditions where biochar is immersed in the reaction solution and the pressure is maintained at 1.5 to 3.5 MPa, thereby accelerating the process of the reaction solution wetting the charcoal and improving the reaction efficiency.

[0032] The fundamental difference between this invention and existing technologies lies in the fact that, during the hydrothermal reaction stage, zinc sulfide (ZnS) preferentially nucleates at defect sites on the surface of biochar due to its relatively low nucleation barrier, forming island-like nanosheets. These pre-formed ZnS nanosheets have a lattice structure similar to... It has a certain degree of matching, thus providing a basis for subsequent... The deposition provided abundant, highly active nucleation sites. This enabled... This method, which allows for epitaxial growth using ZnS as a "seed" at its edges and surface rather than through the difficult spontaneous nucleation process on a carbon substrate, can effectively reduce [the risk of damage]. The difficulty of nucleation forces the two to form a tightly overlapping heterojunction structure, rather than a simple physical mixture.

[0033] In the preparation method of the bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material of the present invention, zinc sulfide is used as a nucleation active site to guide the process. This method of growth can solve the technical challenge of uneven nucleation of tungsten sulfide on carbon-based substrates. In the resulting heterojunction composite material, the honeycomb-like three-dimensional structure of bio-carbon acts as a reinforcing agent, stabilizing the composite structure. Tungsten sulfide and zinc sulfide nanosheets are uniformly anchored on the bio-carbon surface, resulting in good capacitance and charge transport properties. This makes it suitable as an electrode material for high-capacity, high-rate-performance, and long-cycle-life lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Furthermore, using bio-carbon as a carbon source improves the structural stability and electrochemical activity during the insertion (extraction) of lithium and sodium ions, contributing to high-rate performance and cycle stability.

[0038] (5) Calcination The precursor, after repeated reactions, was calcined at 850°C for 2 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a bio-carbon-zinc sulfide-tungsten sulfide heterojunction composite material 1.

From Figure 2 As can be seen, zinc sulfide nanosheets (bright white) are distributed in an island-like structure on the surface of biochar (gray substrate), while tungsten sulfide nanosheets (dark gray) grow epitaxially at their edges, forming overlapping heterojunctions. Tungsten sulfide and zinc sulfide nanosheets grow uniformly on the surface of biochar.

[0039] (6) Electrode preparation and performance testing Composite material 1, conductive carbon black, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were mixed in a mass ratio of 8:1:1. One part by mass of PVDF was dissolved in 19 parts by mass of methylpyrrolidone, and 8 parts by mass of composite material 1 and 1 part by mass of conductive carbon black were added. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours to obtain a slurry. The slurry was coated onto aluminum foil (approximately 20 μm thick) and dried at 110°C for 24 hours to obtain electrode sheet 1. A lithium metal half-cell was assembled using a 0.8 mol / L lithium hexafluorophosphate solution (solvent: ethylene carbonate: diethyl carbonate = 1:1) as the electrolyte. The prepared electrode sheet was tested using a LANHECT 3002A battery tester to determine its specific capacity-voltage profile in a single cycle at current densities of 0.1C and 1.0C, within a voltage range of 0.1–2.5V. Figure 3 As shown. From Figure 3 It can be seen that the specific capacity of the electrode in Example 1 reaches 397.4 at 0.1C. At 1.0C, the specific capacity reaches 135.3. .

The tungsten sulfide nanosheets grow epitaxially with zinc sulfide nanosheets as nucleation centers, and the two form an overlapping and connected heterogeneous structure in three-dimensional space. All nanosheets are firmly anchored to the surface of the biochar framework, forming a complete composite system.
