Description

Preparation method of sulfydryl modified MXene-sulfur composite material and lithium-sulfur battery thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a sulfydryl modified MXene-sulfur composite material and a lithium-sulfur battery thereof, belonging to the technical field of material chemistry.
Background
The lithium ion secondary battery is the first choice for various electronic product power sources because of its characteristics of high energy density, high operating voltage, long cycle performance and no memory effect. Nowadays, due to the high popularity of electric vehicles and the rapid growth of consumer electronics in daily life, energy storage devices with higher and higher energy densities are required. The conventional lithium ion secondary battery is increasingly difficult to meet the requirements due to the theoretical specific capacity limitation. The theoretical specific capacity of the lithium-sulfur battery is up to 1675mAh/g, and the lithium-sulfur battery has high energy density 2600 Wh/kg. In addition, the sulfur with abundant resources, low price, environmental protection and low toxicity make the secondary battery system with high energy density popular.
However, the positive electrode material of the lithium-sulfur battery has some disadvantages. Firstly, elemental sulfur and lithium sulfide, a discharge product, have poor conductivity, so that the reaction efficiency of the electrode is low, and the utilization rate of sulfur, an active material, is low. Second, the charging and discharging processes of lithium-sulfur batteries are different from those of lithium-ion batteries in that the cyclic S8 molecules form soluble and insoluble lithium polysulfides, which dissolve and migrate in the electrolyte solution to form a "shuttle" effect. This results in a loss of sulfur as an active material, resulting in a short battery life. Finally, during the conversion of sulfur to lithium sulfide, the electrode expands by about 80% in volume, and repeated volume scaling during charging and discharging collapses the electrode, resulting in a reduction in capacity. These have limited commercial applications of lithium sulfur batteries.
Therefore, researchers have devised a number of solutions to overcome these drawbacks. A two-dimensional crystal material MXene with a layered graphene-like structure is concerned by most students in recent years. The main component of the material is titanium carbide, which is obtained by etching off IIIA/IVA elements in MAX phase of a precursor by using strong acid by using a chemical liquid phase method, and has excellent conductivity and capability of capturing lithium polysulfide. However, due to strong surface functional group interaction, the prepared MXene still cannot be uniformly dispersed in a form of a single-layer sheet, and the MXene is easy to stack and agglomerate, so that the specific surface area is greatly reduced, and the application of the MXene to the electrode material of the lithium-sulfur battery is limited.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and to solve the MXene modification method.

The technical scheme I of the invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. according to the invention, the cysteamine hydrochloride is selected as a raw material, is dissolved in MXene aqueous dispersion, and is prepared into the mercapto-modified MXene by adopting a one-step hydrothermal reaction method, so that the experimental steps are simple and easy to operate. Both the mercapto-modified MXene and the original MXene have good conductivity and strong polysulfide trapping capacity. Compared with the prior art, the mercapto-modified MXene has a fluffy porous structure and a high specific surface area, is not easy to stack and can better exert the advantages of the mercapto-modified MXene. The sulfydryl modified MXene has high specific surface area, and is favorable for improving the utilization rate of active substance sulfur and improving the specific capacity after being compounded with sulfur.
2. According to the technical scheme, in the melting step, a heating process different from the traditional direct melting at 155 ℃ is adopted, and the temperature is higher, so that the bonding reaction between the broken bonds of sulfur molecules and MXene functional groups occurs. Different from the traditional melting process, sulfur particles with the size of 1-5 microns can be formed when the elemental sulfur and MXene are melted and mixed, the full utilization of active substance sulfur is not facilitated, and the performance of the battery is poor. In the patent, sulfydryl modified MXene and sulfur complex cannot be agglomerated into large particles after being melted, so that the generated composite material also has higher specific surface area.
The second technical scheme of the invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the invention adopts the sulfydryl modified MXene-sulfur composite material as the anode of the lithium-sulfur battery, can increase the interlayer spacing of MXene, improve the specific surface area and increase the porosity, thereby exposing more surface active sites and functional groups, increasing the ion transmission channel and realizing Li + The effective de-intercalation. Meanwhile, the mercapto-modified MXene is in a porous and fluffy structure after being freeze-dried, and is not easy to stack compared with the original MXene. The lithium-sulfur ion battery anode material is used as a lithium-sulfur ion battery anode material, so that the utilization rate of active substance sulfur is increased, the specific capacity of the battery is improved, and the cycling stability of the battery is kept.
2. In this patent, sulfur (S) is formed after bonding of sulfur to mercapto-modified MXene 8 ) The chemical bond of the molecule to the thiol group in a way that bonds the sulfur to MXene more fully than the physical contact of simple conventional melt techniques. The sulfur element forming chemical bond with MXene is not easy to generate high-order polysulfide (Li) in the process of charging and discharging the battery 2 S n ,n>4) Tend to form low-order polysulfides (Li) 2 S n N is less than or equal to 4). And the high-order polysulfide which is dissolved in the electrolyte and easily causes the loss of active substances is high-order polysulfide, so the composite material can also greatly reduce the loss of the active substances sulfur by controlling the generated species besides capturing the polysulfide per se, thereby greatly improving the cycle performance. This also allows a higher utilization of the active substance sulfur.
The foregoing description is only an overview of the technical solutions of the present invention, and in order to make the technical solutions of the present invention more clearly understood and to make the technical solutions of the present invention practical in accordance with the contents of the specification, the following detailed description is given of preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this example, MXene was obtained as a flake-like MXene fluffy powder with few layers.
It should be noted that, every time 40mL of hydrochloric acid is used in the step 1-1, 20-120mL of deionized water is needed in the step 1-3, and the proper dosage of deionized water is added according to the dosage of the hydrochloric acid actually used; in the steps 1-4, 20-120mL of ethanol needs to be added, and the proper ethanol dosage is added according to the actually used hydrochloric acid dosage.
As mentioned above, the frequency used for the ultrasonic treatment in the steps 1-3 and 1-4 is 35-50KHz, and the ultrasonic power is 600- & gt 800W.

2-1, adding the flaky MXene prepared in the step 1-4 into deionized water to prepare 1mg/mL MXene dispersion liquid;
2-2, taking 100mL of MXene dispersion liquid obtained in the step 2-1, adding 500mg of cysteamine hydrochloride and 0.5mL of ammonia water, and uniformly stirring to obtain a mixed solution A;
2-3, placing the mixed solution A in a muffle furnace, and carrying out hydrothermal reaction at 90 ℃ for 6 hours to obtain a mixed solution B;
2-4, filtering the mixed solution B, washing with water for 5 times, and drying in a freeze dryer at the temperature of-40 ℃ for 12 hours to obtain the porous sulfydryl modified MXene.
It should be noted that the freeze-drying process in step 2-4 is drying in a freeze-dryer at-40 to-60 deg.C for 12-48h, and the number of water washes in step 2-4 is 2-5.
Preparation of tri-mercapto modified MXene-sulfur composite material
3-1, mixing the freeze-dried powder of the sulfydryl modified MXene prepared in the step 2-4 with a sulfur simple substance in a mass ratio of 1: 3 grinding and mixing to obtain a reactant A;
3-2, filling argon into the reactant A, putting the reactant A into a reaction kettle, heating the reactant A in a muffle furnace at 185 ℃ for 10 hours, and heating the reactant A to 245 ℃ for 2 hours to excite elemental sulfur (S) 8 ) The ring-opening polymerization reaction of (3) bonds elementary sulfur to the functional group of MXene to form a chemical bond. After heating, naturally cooling to room temperature to obtain a reactant B;
3-3, heating the reactant B to 155 ℃ at a heating rate of 10 ℃/min in an argon introducing environment, and keeping for 3h to remove residual elemental sulfur, thereby obtaining the mercapto-modified MXene-sulfur composite material.
Please refer to fig. 1, which is a SEM image of various materials of the first embodiment, wherein (a, d) is flake MXene, (b, e) is mercapto-modified MXene, and (c, f) is mercapto-modified MXene-sulfur composite.
As can be seen from the figures (a, d), simple MXene has a lamellar shape, and the lamellar shape is smooth, and the size of the lamellar structure is large and is about several micrometers.
As can be seen from the graphs (b, e), the mercapto-modified MXene still maintains the original lamellar shape, but the lamellar shape is wrinkled, and a lamellar structure with small size is partially formed. This is because a great deal of mercapto functional groups are introduced in the process of modifying MXene, and element doping is also carried out. Thus forming a porous pleated morphology, obtaining a high specific surface area.
Unlike the conventional physical melting method of growing elemental sulfur at 155 degrees, the high temperature melting process mentioned in the patent in preparation step 3-2 forms chemical bonds. Therefore, as can be seen from the graphs (c, f), unlike the conventional physical melting method which can form agglomerated large particles of several micrometers, a certain flake-like morphology of the mercapto-modified MXene layer can be observed in the mercapto-modified MXene-sulfur composite material, but not a completely agglomerated large particle morphology. The form also has a certain porosity, and the specific surface area is kept high. This is beneficial to the high utilization rate of the active substance sulfur and the exertion of the sulfydryl modified MXene conductivity.
As shown in fig. 2, it is the FE-SEM images and the mapping images of the corresponding elements of the thiol-modified MXene in example one, wherein (a) is the FE-SEM image of the thiol-modified MXene (b-f) is the mapping image of the S, N, C, Ti and O elements, respectively.
As can be seen from FIG. (a), the thiol-modified MXene has a more clear platelet-layered structure. As can be seen from the graphs (b, c), the existence of the thiol S element doped by cysteamine hydrochloride and the N element uniformly distributed on the molecule indicates that the doping is successful, but the signal is weak because the content is not much. As can be seen from the graphs (d, e, f), the uniform distribution signals of the main components C and Ti of MXene are strong, and the existence of the O element is due to the existence of other oxygen-containing functional groups.
Example one (B): lithium-sulfur battery applying sulfydryl modified Xmene-sulfur composite material
The sulfydryl modified MXene-sulfur composite material prepared in the step 3-3 is applied to a positive electrode as a positive electrode material, and the positive electrode manufacturing step comprises the following steps:

Taking a lithium sheet as a negative electrode, wherein electrolyte is 1M lithium bistrifluoromethanesulfonylimide which is dissolved in 1, 3-dioxolane and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether according to the volume ratio of 1:1, wherein the mass ratio of 1, 3-dioxolane to ethylene glycol dimethyl ether is 1: 0.4 to 2.
Preferably, the sulfur carrying amount of the coating film is 1-2mg/cm 2
Preferably, the respective components of the positive electrode and the negative electrode are assembled in a glove box with an inert gas (e.g., argon) atmosphere to obtain a lithium sulfur battery.

Meanwhile, the mercapto-modified MXene is in a porous and fluffy structure after being freeze-dried, and is not easy to stack compared with the original MXene. The lithium-sulfur ion battery anode material is used as a lithium-sulfur ion battery anode material, so that the utilization rate of active substance sulfur is increased, the specific capacity of the battery is improved, and the cycling stability of the battery is kept.
In order to illustrate the advantages and effects of the technical solutions of the present invention, in addition to the first embodiment, the applicant makes second, third and fourth embodiments different from the first embodiment, thereby intuitively reflecting the effect differences among different solutions through different experimental data.

As can be seen from the graph (a), the batteries of four different mercapto-modified MXene-sulfur electrode materials have high coulombic efficiencies of more than 98% basically in the cyclic charge-discharge test at a low current density of 0.1C, but have different specific capacities. S-MXene SH 15, namely adding 15 times of cysteamine hydrochloride when modifying MXene, shows the highest initial discharge specific capacity of 1387.8mAh/g, and still maintains 810.4mAh/g after 100 cycles, which shows that the addition amount of the cysteamine hydrochloride plays the best role in modifying and doping the MXene, and the final composite material has the highest utilization rate of active substance sulfur and stronger capability of capturing polysulfide, so that the cycle stability is good. As can be seen from the graph (b), the rate performance of the MXene-sulfur electrode material is optimized for four different thiol-modified MXene-S electrode materials, wherein S-MXene SH 15 has the best performance due to excellent conductivity. The specific discharge capacity of 457.8mAh/g is still maintained during 4C high current density charging and discharging.

And finally, bonding sulfur molecules with the modified sulfydryl on the MXene at high temperature by adopting a process different from the traditional melting process to obtain the sulfydryl modified MXene-sulfur composite material serving as the anode of the lithium-sulfur battery. The sulfydryl modified MXene has excellent conductivity as the original MXene, and meanwhile, the interlayer spacing of the MXene is increased, more active sites and functional groups are exposed, and capture of polysulfide is facilitated.
