Description

Flexible electrode and flexible battery based on carbonized silk fabric
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a flexible electrode and a flexible battery based on a carbonized silk fabric, in particular to a flexible electrode containing a carbonized silk fabric, especially a flexible lithium negative electrode and a flexible sulfur positive electrode, and a flexible battery containing the flexible electrode, especially a flexible lithium sulfur battery.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development and emerging application of flexible wearable electronic products such as scroll display screens, electronic textiles, soft robots, internet of things systems, and bioelectronic products, a battery which is light, thin, flexible, bendable, high in energy density, and stable in performance is urgently needed to be developed to provide power for various wearable and flexible electronic devices. At present, a rigid lithium ion battery adopting metal foil as a current collector can generate fatigue fracture and active substance stripping when being repeatedly bent, and is easy to cause the attenuation of electrochemical and mechanical properties; meanwhile, the lithium ion battery adopts a layered lithium-embedded active material with low theoretical specific capacity, and a thicker electrode is needed, so that the excellent flexibility and high energy density of the lithium battery are difficult to realize.
The lithium-sulfur battery is used as a next-generation lithium battery technology, sulfur and metal lithium are respectively used as anode and cathode materials of the battery, the lithium-sulfur battery has the theoretical advantage of extremely high specific capacity (lithium: 3860 mAh/kg; sulfur: 1675mAh/kg), and the lithium-sulfur battery is very suitable for application of wearable and flexible electronic device products and draws wide attention at home and abroad. However, the application of lithium sulfur batteries still faces numerous challenges. In the aspect of a negative electrode, the SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode is easy to continuously damage and the electrolyte is continuously consumed due to huge volume change and lithium dendrite growth in the lithium metal charging and discharging process; on the positive electrode side, the sulfur elution of the positive electrode occurs during the use of the battery, and polysulfides (e.g., Li) are produced2S4、Li2S6、Li2S8Etc.) that can dissolve in the electrolyte and pass through the battery separator, resulting in the continual loss of active sulfur during cycling and electrolyte consumption. It can be seen that the above factors all result in unstable electrochemical performance of the lithium-sulfur battery.
The adoption of the flexible conductive substrate with a high specific area to replace a metal foil as a current collector is an important way for improving the electrochemical performance and mechanical flexibility of the lithium-sulfur battery. At present, flexible current collector substrates of lithium-sulfur electrodes mainly comprise two types, one type is carbon nanotubes, graphene and cellulose carbon paper, and the other type is carbon fabric. The carbon paper has the characteristics of light weight, high conductivity and the like, and the lithium sulfur active substance can be directly deposited on the thin-film carbon paper to prepare the flexible electrode, so that the light flexible lithium sulfur battery can be assembled, but the flexible lithium sulfur battery is generally low in energy density and poor in bending stability. The carbon fabric has the advantages of high flexibility, a porous net structure, good chemical stability and the like, and the lithium sulfur electrode prepared by using the carbon fabric has excellent mechanical flexibility. Research teams at home and abroad try to load high-activity lithium sulfur substances on the surface of carbon fabric by using vacuum filtration, liquid impregnation, electrodeposition, hot melting and other modes to realize the preparation of the flexible lithium sulfur electrode. However, commercial carbon fabric has high areal mass density and poor affinity to both polysulfide and lithium metal, and cannot effectively inhibit the shuttle effect and lithium dendrite growth of polysulfide, so that the electrochemical and mechanical stability of the carbon fabric lithium-sulfur battery is often poor. Although a great deal of previous work improves the electrochemical and mechanical stability of the lithium-sulfur battery with the fabric carbide through surface modification (such as heterogeneous atom doping, metal sulfide modification, transition metal coating and the like), most of the surface modification processes are complicated and the interface stability is poor. Therefore, it remains a great challenge to realize high performance flexible lithium sulfur electrodes and full cells using a simple and efficient method.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the advantages obtained by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The invention provides, in a first aspect, a flexible electrode comprising a carbonized silk fabric and an electrode active material compounded with the carbonized silk fabric.
The invention creatively compounds the carbonized silk fabric as a base material and an electrode active material, and utilizes the flexibility and the conductivity of the carbonized silk fabric to manufacture the flexible electrode. The composite material can be compounded with a positive active material to manufacture a flexible positive electrode, and can also be compounded with a negative active material to manufacture a flexible negative electrode. The prepared flexible positive electrode or the flexible positive electrode can be further used for manufacturing flexible batteries. The term "composite" as used herein is to be understood in a broad sense including any way of electrically combining the carbonized silk fabric with the electrode active material. For example, a flexible lithium negative electrode described below is prepared by depositing lithium metal on a carbonized silk fabric, in which case the carbonized silk fabric is composited with an electrode active material by deposition. As another example, the flexible sulfur positive electrode described below is prepared by preparing a positive electrode active material, a conductive additive, and a binder into a positive electrode slurry, and then coating the positive electrode slurry on a carbonized silk fabric, in which case the carbonized silk fabric is combined with the electrode active material by a coating method.
The silk is spun by silkworm in the dormancy stage before the silkworm becomes a silkworm moth, and the silk comprises mulberry silk, tussah silk, castor-oil plant silk, cassava silk and the like according to the varieties of the silkworm, and the mulberry silk and the tussah silk are commonly used. Silk is one of natural protein fibers, and consists of sericin at the outer layer and fibroin (fibroin) at the inner layer. The silk has small diameter, smoothness, luster and elasticity, and can be used for fabrics without spinning, and the silk can be formed into continuous rope-shaped filaments only by merging and twisting two strands. Silk fabrics are elegant in appearance, comfortable to wear, and have aesthetic value, and have been the material of high-end apparel for thousands of years. Because silk fabric is rich in carbon element, soft frivolous, along with the rise of flexible battery, flexible wearable equipment, silk fabric has also aroused people's very big interest as flexible conducting material's raw materials.
The term "silk fabric" as used herein includes both the common silk fabric cloth and regenerated silk fibers prepared by electrospinning. The term "carbonized silk fabric" used herein refers to a flexible conductive material obtained by subjecting a silk fabric to a high-temperature heat treatment or the like.
Generally, carbonized silk fabrics are made by the following process: under the protection of inert gas, dehydrating the silk fabric at a first temperature, cyclizing at a second temperature, and carbonizing at a third temperature to obtain the carbonized silk fabric.
Without being limited by theory, it is believed that after the fibroin in the silk fabric is heated at a gradient temperature, intramolecular dehydration occurs between adjacent peptide chains, followed by aromatization or cyclization to form a hexagonal carbon ring, and finally even a highly ordered graphite structure is generated.
It will be appreciated that the first temperature is a temperature suitable for dehydrating the silk fabric, the second temperature is a temperature at which amino and carboxyl groups in the proteins in the silk fabric undergo a cyclization reaction to form a nitrogen-oxygen doped structure, and the third temperature is a temperature suitable for carbonizing the silk fabric. It will be appreciated that the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, the third temperature is higher than the second temperature, the process is conducted at the first temperature, the second temperature and the third temperature for a suitable time, and the transition from the first temperature to the second temperature and the transition from the second temperature to the third temperature are at a suitable ramp rate.
In some embodiments of the invention, the carbonized silk fabric is prepared by: under the protection of inert gas, dehydrating the silk fabric at a first temperature of between 100 and 200 ℃ for 1 to 2 hours, then cyclizing at a second temperature of between 300 and 400 ℃ for 2 to 3 hours, and then carbonizing at a third temperature of between 950 and 1100 ℃ for 1 to 2 hours, wherein the heating rates of the silk fabric to the first temperature, the second temperature and the third temperature are independently 2 to 10 ℃/min.
The inert gas is an inert gas commonly used in chemical and chemical reactions, such as argon, neon, nitrogen or a mixture thereof. In addition, an appropriate amount of hydrogen or ammonia may be mixed into the inert gas, that is, the reaction atmosphere may be a mixed gas of the inert gas and hydrogen or ammonia. The mixed hydrogen and argon have reducibility, so that the oxygen doping content of the final carbonized silk fabric can be reduced, and the conductivity of the final carbonized silk fabric can be improved.
In the above carbonization method, when a large piece of silk fabric (for example, silk cloth) is used, it is generally cut into a square having an appropriate size and then processed. Also, it is generally preferred that the silk fabric is first sonicated with deionized water and absolute ethanol for 15-20min each, and then dried at 60 ℃ for subsequent processing.
The material of the silk fabric is not particularly limited, but pure mulberry silk or tussah silk is generally preferred, the weaving mode comprises double-crepe, plain crepe, ghost crepe and electric spinning, the thickness is 8-46 mm, and further preferably, the silk fabric is plain crepe mulberry silk fabric of 22 mm.
In some embodiments of the flexible electrode of the present invention, the electrode active material is a negative electrode active material. In the field of batteries, non-limiting examples of the anode active material include lithium metal, silicon, graphite, metal oxides, and the like. For silicon, graphite and metal oxide negative active materials, the silicon, graphite and metal oxide negative active materials can be uniformly mixed with a binder and a conductive additive in a proper amount of solvent according to a certain ratio (for example, (8-9):1:1) to obtain negative slurry, then the negative slurry is coated on a carbonized silk fabric, and the solvent is removed through vacuum drying to obtain a well-compounded flexible negative electrode.
Further, in a preferred embodiment, the negative active material is lithium metal and the flexible electrode is correspondingly a flexible lithium negative electrode.

The drying mode can be natural drying, or low-temperature drying, or other suitable dryingAnd (4) drying. Usually, the current is set to 0.1-1mA cm-2In the range of 1 to 20mAhcm of lithium metal-2Within the range of (1). The organic solvent used may be, for example, dimethyl carbonate (DMC), 1, 3-Dioxolane (DOL) or Dimethoxyethane (DME). It should be noted that although an electrodeposition process is used herein to compound lithium metal with a carbonized silk fabric to prepare a flexible lithium negative electrode, other compounding processes known in the art, such as a lithium hot melt process, may also be used to prepare a flexible lithium negative electrode.
In other embodiments of the flexible electrode of the present invention, the electrode active material is a positive electrode active material. In the field of batteries, non-limiting examples of the positive active material generally include nickel cobalt manganese ternary material (NCM), Lithium Cobaltate (LCO), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), nickel cobalt aluminum ternary material (NCA), Lithium Manganate (LMO), Lithium Nickelate (LNO), and the like; in a metal-sulfur battery such as a lithium-sulfur battery, the positive electrode active material is a positive electrode active material containing elemental sulfur, such as elemental sulfur, a sulfur compound (e.g., a sulfur-carbon, sulfur-selenium, or sulfur-tellurium compound, etc.), or a polysulfide compound (e.g., Li2S8、Li2S6Etc.).
Further, in some preferred embodiments, the electrode active material is a positive electrode active material that is one or more of a nickel cobalt manganese ternary material (NCM), Lithium Cobaltate (LCO), and lithium iron phosphate (LFP). The flexible electrode is prepared by the following method: uniformly mixing the positive electrode active material, a conductive additive and a binder in a proper amount of solvent according to the mass ratio of (4-9) to (1-2) to 1 to obtain positive electrode slurry; and then uniformly coating the obtained positive electrode slurry on the carbonized silk fabric, and performing vacuum drying at the temperature of 60-80 ℃ for 12-16h to remove the solvent to obtain the flexible electrode. The conductive additive is one or more of acetylene black, Ketjen black, Super P, Super C45, carbon nanotube and graphene, and the binder is water-based binder (such as PAA, LA123 and sericin) or organic solvent-based binder (such as PVDF).
Still further, in other preferred embodiments, the electrode active material is a positive electrode active material comprising elemental sulfur, and the flexible electrode is correspondingly a flexible sulfur positive electrode. Simply, for elemental sulfur or a sulfur compound, the elemental sulfur or the sulfur compound, a conductive additive and an adhesive can be uniformly mixed in a proper amount of a solvent to obtain positive electrode slurry, then the obtained positive electrode slurry is uniformly coated on a carbonized silk fabric, and the solvent is removed by vacuum drying to obtain a flexible sulfur electrode; in the case of polysulfide, the polysulfide can be dissolved in electrolyte, and then the electrolyte is dripped on the carbonized silk fabric to obtain the flexible sulfur electrode.
In a preferred embodiment of preparing the flexible sulfur positive electrode from elemental sulfur, the flexible sulfur positive electrode is prepared by the following method: mixing and fully grinding sulfur powder and a conductive additive according to the mass ratio of (2-3) to 1, and carrying out hydrothermal reaction on the ground mixture at the temperature of 150-160 ℃ for 12-16h under the protection of inert gas to obtain a sulfur compound; fully mixing the obtained sulfur compound and the binder in a proper amount of solvent according to the mass ratio of (8-9) to 1 to obtain anode slurry; and coating the obtained positive electrode slurry on the carbonized silk fabric, and performing vacuum drying at the temperature of 60-80 ℃ for 12-16h to remove the solvent to obtain the flexible sulfur positive electrode. The conductive additive is one or more of acetylene black, Ketjen black, Super P, Super C45, carbon nanotubes and graphene, and the binder is a water-based binder or an organic solvent-based binder.
