The invention discloses a W18O49 / WS2
composite material, a preparation method thereof and application of the W18O49 / WS2
composite material in a
sodium-
sulfur battery, and belongs to the field of electrochemical
catalysis functional materials.The preparation method comprises the steps that 1, 10-20 mL of
cyclohexanol is added into 20-30 mL of
acetylacetone, and stirring is conducted to obtain a
mixed solution A; 2) weighing 1-1.5 g of
tungsten hexachloride, adding the
tungsten hexachloride into the
mixed solution A, and stirring to obtain a
mixed solution B; (3) transferring the mixed solution B into a reaction kettle, sealing, putting into a
drying oven, and reacting for 5-8 hours at 175-200 DEG C; 4) after the reaction is finished, performing suction
filtration and washing on a product,
drying in a vacuum oven, and collecting to obtain W18O49
powder; the preparation method comprises the following steps of 1, weighing W18O49
powder and
thioacetamide according to a ratio of nW: nS of 0.125-0.5, and respectively placing the W18O49
powder and
thioacetamide in a porcelain boat, and 6, simultaneously placing the porcelain boat in a tubular furnace, introducing an
argon-
hydrogen mixed gas, closing the gas, heating to 400-700 DEG C, carrying out heat preservation, and collecting to obtain W18O49 / WS2 powder.The preparation method solves the problems that an existing W18O49 / WS2
composite material is abnormal in electronic characteristics, the growth rate of a W18O49 core and the growth rate of a WS2 shell layer are not matched, deposition of WS2 on the surface of W18O49 is uneven, and
active site distribution is unbalanced.
