Description

Preparation method of metal oxide-based composite positive electrode material for lithium-sulfur battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode materials, in particular to a preparation method of a metal oxide-based composite positive electrode material for a lithium-sulfur battery.
Background
With the rapid development of society, electric automobiles, intelligent networks, and mobile electronic devices have become an integral part of human society. However, the energy density provided by some materials such as lithium cobalt oxide or lithium iron phosphate used in the current Lithium Ion Batteries (LiBs) as energy storage systems cannot meet the demands of people. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to find other advanced battery energy storage devices with high energy density. Lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries have a higher theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg) than conventional lithium ion batteries -1 ) The inherent advantages of elemental sulfur, such as low price, no pollution, rich reserves and the like of sulfur, attract attention and research of lithium sulfur batteries. However, lithium sulfur batteries have some troublesome problems in commercialization processes, such as sulfur (S) and its reduction products (Li 2 S 2 /Li 2 S) is poor in conductivity, limiting the utilization of active materials; the "shuttle effect" generated by dissolution of lithium polysulfide in the electrolyte during discharge causes problems of low coulomb efficiency and fast capacity decay of the battery, and the loss of active material occurring by the volume change of the sulfur positive electrode during charge and discharge causes poor cycling stability of the battery. In order to solve the above problems, a carrier material is generally introduced to be compounded with elemental sulfur, and the carrier material is the most common at present, which is formed by wrapping elemental sulfur in various carbon materials, and improving the electron conductivity and the porosity of the carbon materials to improve the problem of the sulfur positive electrode. However, physical adsorption using carbon as a carrier material can only adsorb polysulfide by Van der Waals force, and the phenomenon of polysulfide dissolution shuttling still occurs due to weak interaction, which is unfavorable for long-term stable cycle of the lithium-sulfur battery. Thus, the preparation of a positive electrode active material support material capable of effectively limiting polysulfide shuttling is a key point in the development of high energy density lithium sulfur batteries (1, W.W.Sun, S.K.Liu, Y.J.Li, D.Q.Wang, Q.P Guo, X.B.Hong, K.Xie, Z.Y.Ma, C.M.Zheng, S.Z.Xiong.Advanced Functional Materials,2022,32 (43): 2205471.2, Y.Yao, C.Y.Chang, R.G.Li, D.Guo, Z.X).Liu,X.Pu,J.Y.Zhai.Chemical Engineering Journal,2022,431:134033)。

Fig. 3 is an X-ray diffraction pattern of the ceria-loaded cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon sulfur support material prepared in the example. Diffraction peaks at 28.5 °, 33.1 °, 47.5 ° and 56.4 ° of the material correspond to the (111), (200), (220) and (311) crystal planes of cubic phase ceria (PDF # 81-0792), indicating successful loading of ceria in a sulfur support material by hydrothermal reaction (W.J.Feng, J.Z.Chen, Y.P.Niu, W.Zhao, L.Zhang.Journal of Alloys and Compounds,2022,906: 164341).
Fig. 4 is an electron microscope image of the metal-organic framework prepared in the example in-situ growth material on carbon nanotubes. The metal-organic frameworks have typical rhombohedral shapes, the rhombohedral shapes being connected with carbon nanotubes, which form electron transport channels that promote electron transport efficiency while enhancing the conductivity of elemental sulfur (W.J.Feng, W.Zhao, Z.J.Shi, J.Z.Chen.Journal of Materials Science: materials in Electronics,2022,33 (22): 17483-17492.).
Fig. 5 is an electron microscope image of the cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon skeleton material prepared in the example. The cobalt-based nitrogen doped porous carbon particles are uniformly distributed, which indicates that the size of the cobalt-based nitrogen doped porous carbon after carbonization treatment is obviously reduced.
Fig. 6 is an electron microscopic scan of the cerium oxide-loaded cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon material prepared in the example. It can be clearly seen that the ceria formed after hydrothermal reaction is uniformly distributed on the surface of the cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon skeleton material, which is more advantageous for adsorption of polysulfides to reduce loss of active substances (X.C.Chen, L.B.Li, Y.H.Shan, D.Zhou, W.J.Cui, Y.M.Y, zhao.Journal of Energy Chemistry,2022, 70:502-510.).
Fig. 7 is initial charge and discharge curves at different rates for lithium sulfur batteries prepared in the examples with ceria-loaded cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as the sulfur support material. The initial specific discharge capacities at 0.1 rate, 0.2 rate, 0.5 rate, 1 rate and 2 rate are 1095.4mAh/g, 860.4mAh/g, 668.3mAh/g, 560.1mAh/g and 456.1mAh/g respectively, and compared with the data of the comparative example, the lithium sulfur battery shows excellent specific discharge capacity due to the effective synergistic adsorption effect of ceria and cobalt nitrogen carbon bipolar substances in the carrier material on polysulfide.
Fig. 8 is a graph of the rate performance of a lithium sulfur battery assembled with ceria-loaded cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as a sulfur support material prepared in the example. After the lithium sulfur battery is recycled from 0.1 multiplying power to different multiplying power, the specific discharge capacity of 787.5mAh/g is still remained when the multiplying power is recycled to 0.1 multiplying power, and the capacity retention rate is more than 72%, so that the lithium sulfur battery of the sulfur carrier material has excellent multiplying power performance, and the excellent multiplying power performance is attributed to the fact that cerium oxide and cobalt nitrogen carbon bipolar substances in the carrier material accelerate the oxidation-reduction reaction rate during charge and discharge.
FIG. 9 is a cyclic voltammogram of a lithium sulfur battery assembled from a composite positive electrode prepared by mixing cerium oxide-loaded cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as a sulfur carrier material with elemental sulfur in a mass ratio of 1:3 at 0.05mV/s in the example. Two reduction peaks were observed at 2.28V and 2.01V, indicating that elemental sulfur was converted to long chain polysulfides followed by final conversion to solid phase lithium sulfide; the oxidation peak at 2.49V is initiated by the reversible reaction of solid phase lithium sulfide through lithium polysulfide and finally to elemental sulfur, with good reversibility through a tertiary cycle curve, which means that lithium sulfur batteries with cerium oxide-loaded cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon frameworks as sulfur support materials have excellent cycling stability (C.C.Hu, X.Y.Zhang, H.P.Li, Y.Zhao.Solid State Sciences,2022, 134:107025).
Fig. 10 is a cycle performance curve of a lithium sulfur battery assembled with ceria-supported cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as a sulfur support material prepared in the example. The reversible discharge specific capacity of 557.2mAh/g is achieved after 100 cycles at 0.5 multiplying power, the capacity retention rate is 66.6% and the coulombic efficiency is above 98%, and the excellent cycle performance is attributed to the fact that the uniform distribution of cerium oxide on the surface of porous carbon in the carrier material promotes the transformation of polysulfide and the porous carbon structure slows down the volume expansion problem of elemental sulfur and discharge products.
Fig. 11 is initial charge and discharge curves at different rates of lithium sulfur batteries assembled with ceria-loaded cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as a sulfur support material prepared in comparative example 1. Initial specific discharge capacities at 0.1 multiplying power, 0.2 multiplying power, 0.5 multiplying power, 1 multiplying power and 2 multiplying power are 997.7mAh/g, 528.8mAh/g, 355mAh/g, 263.4mAh/g and 190.6mAh/g respectively, the specific discharge capacities at different multiplying powers are lower, polarization between charge and discharge curves is serious, and the prepared sulfur carrier material is low in conductivity and can not effectively adsorb polysulfide.
Fig. 12 is a graph showing the rate performance of a lithium sulfur battery assembled with ceria-supported cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as a sulfur support material prepared in comparative example 1. When the lithium sulfur battery is recycled from 0.1 multiplying power to different multiplying power, the lithium sulfur battery has a specific discharge capacity of 815.7mAh/g when the lithium sulfur battery is recycled to 0.1 multiplying power, and the capacity retention rate is more than 81%, so that the prepared sulfur carrier material has excellent multiplying power performance.
Fig. 13 is a cycle performance curve of a lithium sulfur battery fabricated with ceria-supported cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as a sulfur carrier material prepared in comparative example 1. The capacity of the sulfur carrier material after 100 times of circulation at the rate of 0.5C is only 308.6mAh/g, which shows that the electrochemical performance of the sulfur carrier material prepared under the condition is poor.
Fig. 14 is a cycle performance curve of the lithium sulfur battery fabricated with the ceria-supported cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as the sulfur carrier material prepared in comparative example 2. The reversible discharge specific capacity of 511.3mAh/g after 100 cycles at 0.5 multiplying power, the capacity retention rate is 63.5%.
Fig. 15 is a cycle performance curve of the lithium sulfur battery assembled with the ceria-supported cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as the sulfur carrier material prepared in comparative example 3. The reversible discharge specific capacity of 825.1mAh/g after 100 cycles at 0.5 multiplying power, the capacity retention rate is 65.3%.
Fig. 16 is a cycle performance curve of the lithium sulfur battery assembled with the ceria-supported cobalt-based nitrogen-doped porous carbon as the sulfur carrier material prepared in comparative example 4. The reversible specific discharge capacity of 758.4mAh/g over 100 cycles at 0.5 rate had a capacity retention of 53.1% which is a decrease in cycling stability compared to example 1 of fig. 13, indicating that too much ceria loading may result in a decrease in conductivity of the carbon-based material and a decrease in the porous voids resulting in a decrease in the ability of the support material to adsorb polysulfides.
In summary, the composite anode material prepared by combining proper ceria content with the cobalt-based porous carbon skeleton can effectively promote the transformation and adsorption of polysulfide, solve the problems of poor conductivity, shuttle effect of polysulfide and volume expansion of the simple substance sulfur active material of the anode material of the lithium sulfur battery in an energy storage system, and provide an effective technical implementation scheme for realizing stable circulation and excellent multiplying power performance of the lithium sulfur battery. Therefore, the novel composite positive electrode material for the lithium-sulfur battery has good application prospect in energy storage systems of various electronic equipment based on the advantages.
