The invention discloses a method for synthesizing battery-grade high-purity
lithium sulfide by a
liquid phase method. The preparation method comprises the following specific steps: dissolving a
lithium salt in a
solvent X to form a
lithium salt solution, dissolving
anhydrous M2S and
crown ether in the
solvent X to form an M2S solution, adding the lithium
salt solution into a reaction kettle, filling
argon for replacement, adding the M2S solution into the reaction kettle, stirring, then adding an anti-
solvent Y into the reaction kettle, stirring to obtain a suspended
system, discharging a
solid crude product
lithium sulfide from the lower end of the reaction kettle, and
drying to obtain the
lithium sulfide. The method comprises the following steps: respectively recovering a solvent X, an anti-solvent Y and
crown ether from an
organic solvent through rectification, carrying out
vacuum drying on crude
lithium sulfide, putting the dried crude lithium
sulfide into a
rotary furnace, introducing
inert gas,
roasting, and removing organic carbon and
sulfur to obtain a battery-grade high-purity lithium
sulfide product, and recycling the
crown ether through
recovery. According to the invention, crown
ether is introduced and forms a complex with
alkali metal ions, so that the concentration of
sulfur ions in an
organic solvent is improved, the
reaction rate of lithium sulfide is promoted, formation of LiMS by-products is effectively avoided, and the yield and purity of Li2S are improved.
