Description

Ruthenium/carbon nano tube flexible positive electrode material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage and nano material preparation, and particularly relates to a ruthenium/carbon nano tube flexible anode material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Currently, the transitional exploitation and utilization of single fossil energy sources raise serious energy and environmental crisis. In order to solve the problems caused by the single energy structure, people gradually pay attention to the development of clean energy, but the clean energy (such as wind energy, solar energy and geothermal energy) has seasonal, regional and intermittent distribution characteristics, and the reasonable application of the clean energy is limited. For more efficient and rational application of clean energy, new energy storage and conversion technologies are being applied, such as lithium ion batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, metal air batteries, etc., wherein lithium ion batteries, which have been commercialized, greatly facilitate people's lives and productions. Because the energy density of the lithium ion battery is close to the theoretical value, the requirement of people on the power battery with longer and longer endurance cannot be met. Thus, battery powered systems with higher energy densities have been explored, in which lithium-oxygen cells, due to the highest theoretical energy density among all rechargeable cells (11700W h kg -1 ) And is of great concern. Despite having such high theoretical energyThe practical energy density and rate capability of a lithium-oxygen battery is far from being desirable, which is limited primarily by the positive electrode materials that provide catalytic activity and store discharge products. Moreover, the development of wearable electronic devices is driven by the current demands of people for technologies such as artificial intelligence, man-machine interaction, health monitoring and the like, and the development of the wearable electronic devices with more convenient application depends on the flexible characteristics of electrode matrixes. Therefore, development of efficient and flexible cathode materials becomes a key to the practical application of high specific energy and wearable lithium-oxygen batteries.
The anode material of the lithium-oxygen battery is generally formed by compounding a conductive matrix and an electrocatalytic material, on one hand, most of the conductive matrixes (such as foam nickel, carbon paper and the like) have higher cost and poorer flexibility, and are not beneficial to the large-scale application of the lithium-oxygen battery and the application of wearable devices; on the other hand, the currently adopted anode electrocatalytic material has poor activity and stability, and severely restricts the improvement of the energy efficiency and the cycling stability of the lithium-oxygen battery. The filter paper is used as a cheap, easily-obtained and porous flexible matrix to be widely applied to electrochemical energy storage devices, and the ruthenium-based catalytic material has higher catalytic activity on electrochemical reaction in the lithium-oxygen battery, so that the combination of the filter paper and ruthenium nano particles is expected to promote the development and practical application of the flexible lithium-oxygen battery with low cost and long endurance.

In order to realize the characteristics, the invention adopts the filter paper with low cost and multiple holes as a flexible substrate of the anode material, the substrate is coated with a conductive material (carbon nano tube), and finally the electrocatalytic active phase (ruthenium nano particles) is loaded to reduce the overpotential in the charge and discharge process. Thus obtaining the flexible lithium-oxygen battery anode material with low cost, high performance and long service life.
The invention mainly discloses a lithium-oxygen battery anode material, which is applied to a battery anode taking tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether solution of lithium bistrifluoromethane sulfonyl imide as electrolyte and is used for promoting the smooth proceeding of the charge and discharge process of the battery anode. The cost of the lithium-oxygen battery anode material directly influences the scale process of the whole battery, and the flexibility of the matrix material determines the application prospect of the lithium-oxygen battery anode material in wearable electronic equipment. The improvement of the overall performance of the lithium-oxygen battery mainly depends on the porosity, conductivity and catalytic activity of the positive electrode material. The porous electrode material is used for realizing the smooth progress of the mass transfer process of the electrochemical reaction, comprising the transmission of oxygen and the transmission of electrolyte, and the lithium-oxygen battery can generate insoluble discharge products when discharging, and excessive accumulation of the discharge products can influence the further mass transfer process, so that the multi-stage pore structure of the anode material can provide enough space for the deposition of the discharge products; the anode material needs to have good conductivity so as to be beneficial to the transfer of electrons in the electrochemical reaction process and promote the rapid progress of the electrochemical reaction on the surface of the electrode; the active phase of the positive electrode material is used for reducing the overpotential of the battery in the charge and discharge process, improving the energy efficiency of the battery in the charge and discharge process and prolonging the service life of the battery. The lithium-oxygen battery positive electrode material needs not only a substrate which is low in cost and flexible, but also good in porosity, conductivity and catalytic activity. However, the traditional foam nickel matrix has higher cost, poorer flexibility and higher density, which is unfavorable for improving the mass specific capacity of the battery, and the common carbon paper matrix has higher cost and poorer flexibility. The general preparation of the catalytic material with porosity, conductivity and high activity is carried out under the conditions of high-temperature calcination or hydrothermal, which relates to a high-energy consumption process, is unfavorable for large-scale application, and the charge-discharge overpotential of the current positive electrode material is still higher and the cycle stability is poorer.
