Description

Nano high-entropy oxide material, preparation method thereof and lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of materials, and particularly relates to a nano high-entropy oxide material, a preparation method thereof and a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material.
Background
The development of new energy automobiles and new energy storage systems is a solid technical support for meeting energy and environmental challenges, promoting energy transformation in China and realizing strategic goals of carbon peak reaching and carbon neutralization. Most of the existing energy storage systems in the market mainly comprise lead-acid batteries, lithium ion batteries and flow batteries, and the existing energy storage systems in the market have certain disadvantages in the aspects of energy density, safety, price and the like, and cannot meet the requirements of further development of the market. Therefore, it is of great strategic importance to develop a novel lithium ion secondary battery having high performance, low cost and environmental friendliness. In view of its many advantages, such as high theoretical capacity (1675 mAh/g) and energy density (2500 Wh/kg), low cost and abundant sulfur resources, and good overcharge resistance, lithium sulfur batteries are considered to be one of the most potential energy storage systems to meet future energy storage needs. However, the complicated multi-electron conversion, the "shuttle effect" caused by the dissolution of lithium polysulfide, and the insulation property between sulfur and lithium polysulfide present in the charging and discharging processes of the lithium-sulfur battery become the bottleneck of the development of the lithium-sulfur battery. In addition, the problems result in low specific capacity, poor cycle performance, low coulombic efficiency and poor rate performance of the lithium-sulfur battery, and the practical application and further marketization of the lithium-sulfur battery are restricted.
In order to alleviate and solve the above problems, the majority of researchers mainly adopt two main strategies: (1) The sulfur is put into the mesoporous/microporous conductive carbon material, the utilization rate of the sulfur is improved, meanwhile, a physical limited domain is formed by utilizing the physical adsorption effect of the porous carbon carrier, the shuttle effect of polysulfide is reduced, but the acting force between the nonpolar carbon material and polar lithium polysulfide is weaker, and the improvement on the cycle performance of the lithium-sulfur battery is limited. (2) The 'shuttle effect' of polysulfide is inhibited by chemical confinement effect by utilizing the strong chemical adsorption between non-carbon-based carrier (mainly transition metal oxide such as titanium dioxide, manganese dioxide, magnesium oxide and the like) and polysulfide. The high-entropy oxide has abundant metal active sites, can be used as a catalyst for lithium polysulfide conversion, and improves the utilization rate of active sulfur; meanwhile, the lithium-sulfur battery has strong chemical adsorption effect on polysulfide, can form a chemical confinement, inhibits the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfide, and is favorable for improving the electrochemical performance of the lithium-sulfur battery. However, the existing high-entropy oxide is generally prepared by preparing a precursor by methods such as high-energy ball milling, spray drying and the like, and then sintering the precursor by a high-temperature solid-phase method, and the sintering temperature is generally higher than 1000 ℃, so that the process is complex, the energy consumption is high, the particle size of the material is large, and the application of the material in the anode of a lithium-sulfur battery is not facilitated.

And then the organic metal framework template material is calcined, so that the calcining temperature is obviously reduced, the energy consumption is reduced, and the process is simplified. Oxidizing and removing the organic ligand and the auxiliary bridging ligand in the organic metal framework template material in a medium-high temperature oxygen atmosphere at the temperature of below 1000 ℃; meanwhile, the metal precursor is oxidized to form a single-phase metal oxide crystal solid solution with stable entropy, and the transition metal elements are uniformly dispersed in the solid solution to obtain the nano high-entropy oxide material with single phase, good crystallinity, small particle size and uniform distribution. The prepared nano high-entropy oxide material contains highly dispersed transition metal elements, has extremely rich active sites, can be used as a catalyst for lithium polysulfide conversion in the positive electrode of a lithium-sulfur battery, and improves the utilization rate of active sulfur; meanwhile, the lithium sulfide battery cathode has strong chemical adsorption effect on polysulfide, can form a chemical confinement, and inhibits the shuttling of lithium polysulfide in the lithium sulfur battery cathode. Therefore, the shuttle effect of the lithium-sulfur battery can be inhibited and the electrochemical performance of the battery can be improved when the lithium-sulfur battery is applied to the positive electrode material of the lithium-sulfur battery.
The nano high-entropy oxide material prepared by the method is stacked by layered single-phase metal oxide crystalline solid solutions, and transition metal elements are dispersed in the solid solutions.

In some embodiments, the transition metal is selected from at least five of nickel, cobalt, copper, magnesium, zinc, titanium, manganese, iron; the transition metal elements selected in the embodiment of the application can be matched with each other to form coordination, so that a stable metal organic framework precursor can be formed. And, these transition metal elements are applied to the positive electrode material of the lithium-sulfur battery, and may perform different functions, such as: transition metal elements such as magnesium, nickel, cobalt and the like have catalytic conversion effect on polysulfide, and are beneficial to improving the utilization rate of active sulfur materials; transition metal elements such as zinc and the like have an adsorption effect on polysulfide, can form a chemical confinement, and inhibit shuttle of lithium polysulfide in the positive electrode of the lithium-sulfur battery, so that the cycle performance of the electrode material is improved.
