This invention utilizes
microwave-assisted rapid preparation of Ni-ZIF-8 derived carbon materials. Using this material as the main component,
sulfur is loaded as the active material to prepare the
cathode material, which is then assembled into an RT Na-S battery. The process is simple, structurally stable, and exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, possessing certain practical application value. By introducing
metallic nickel to modify the basic structure of ZIF-8, the derivative acquires certain catalytic capabilities, and the precursor Ni-ZIF-8 is prepared using a simple synthetic reaction. Then, by introducing a
microwave absorber, rapid
carbonization is achieved under
microwave irradiation to obtain the Ni-ZIF-8 derived carbon material. The drastic temperature change causes the bulk structure of the precursor to break down during
carbonization, preserving the high specific surface area and abundant active sites of traditional ZIFs while enhancing the material's
conductivity. Relying on the high specific surface area, abundant active sites, and excellent
conductivity of the Ni-ZIF-8 derived carbon material, the synergistic effect of "physical adsorption-
chemical adsorption-catalytic conversion" effectively suppresses
sodium polysulfide shuttle, reduces internal battery polarization, and exhibits excellent electrochemical performance.
