The invention discloses a WS2 / W
composite material, a preparation method thereof and application of the WS2 / W
composite material in a
sodium-
sulfur battery. The preparation method comprises the following steps: uniformly stirring isopropanol and
acetone to obtain a
mixed solution A; weighing
tungsten hexachloride, adding the
tungsten hexachloride into the
mixed solution A, and uniformly stirring to obtain a
mixed solution B; transferring into a reaction kettle, sealing and putting into a
drying oven for reaction; after the reaction is finished, carrying out suction
filtration and washing on a product by using
industrial alcohol, and
drying in a vacuum oven to obtain W18O49
powder; the method comprises the following steps: weighing W18O49
powder and sublimed
sulfur, respectively and correspondingly placing the W18O49
powder and sublimed
sulfur in a first porcelain boat and a second porcelain boat, then placing the second porcelain boat in the first porcelain boat, placing the second porcelain boat in a tubular furnace, introducing
argon into a furnace chamber of the tubular furnace, after the pressure of the furnace chamber is increased to 0.2-0.3 MPa, keeping the airtightness of the
system, heating to 1100-1300 DEG C at the rate of 20 DEG C / min, keeping the pressure at 0.2-0.3 MPa in the heating process, and keeping the temperature for 2-3 hours; and after the temperature reaches 1100-1300 DEG C, continuously preserving heat for 2 hours, introducing
argon, cooling to
room temperature, and collecting to obtain WS2 / W powder. The problems of poor
conductivity of the sulfur positive
electrode,
polysulfide shuttle effect and slow reaction
kinetics are solved.
