Description

Antimony sulfide/graphene composite nano material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nano composite materials, and particularly relates to an antimony sulfide/graphene composite nano material as well as a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
With the wide application of lithium ion batteries in the fields of electric vehicles, consumer electronics and energy storage, the problem of lithium resource shortage is gradually highlighted. Compared with lithium element, sodium element is more abundant in earth crust, and meanwhile, the sodium ion battery has the advantage of price. However, sodium ions have large ionic radius and slow kinetic rate, and suitable sodium storage materials are not easy to find, which becomes a main factor for restricting the development and application of sodium ion batteries. Based on the background, the development of the sodium storage material with high specific capacity has important theoretical research significance and application prospect.
Recent research shows that the antimony-based material has higher theoretical specific capacity as a sodium ion negative electrode material. Wherein, the antimony sulfide can store sodium because of sulfur element and antimony element, and the specific capacity can reach 757mAhg as the cathode material-1Has attractive prospect. But the material capacity decays rapidly during cycling due to the large volume change during its sodium intercalation/deintercalation.
Graphene has a unique two-dimensional single-layer extension structure, which determines its excellent conductivity and ductility. The composite nano material formed by compounding the graphene and the antimony sulfide and combining networks mutually not only improves the conductivity of the antimony sulfide, but also is expected to solve the problem caused by the volume effect during charging and discharging.
In terms of synthesis methods, many methods for synthesizing nanomaterials have been found, such as liquid-phase precipitation, phase-transition, high-temperature solid-phase, hydrothermal, vapor-phase deposition, micro-mechanical ball-milling, ultrasonic methods, and the like. The ultrasonic method has the obvious advantages of mild reaction conditions, high reaction rate, convenient operation and the like. In conclusion, the ultrasonic synthesis of the nano antimony sulfide/graphene composite material has a great promoting effect on the research of the high-performance sodium-ion battery cathode material and the application of the sodium-ion battery.
