摘要
锂硫电池因其高能量密度和低成本而成为最有发展前景的电化学储能器件之一.然而,多硫化物的"穿梭效应"、硫导电率低是锂硫电池商业化面临的主要挑战.本工作中,以Fe(NO)3·9H2O为铁源,NH4F为表面活性剂,通过简单的水热及煅烧处理制备了 Fe2O3纳米棒修饰炭布(CC)的柔性Fe2O3/CC复合材料.其中,Fe2O3中介孔的存在有利于电解质的渗透和充放电过程中锂离子的传输和扩散,同时其密集阵列暴露出的丰富活性位点可以实现多硫化物的高效吸附和快速转化,降低多硫化物的穿梭效应.电化学分析显示:Fe2O3/CC正极在0.1 C(1C=1 672 mA g-1)的电流密度下具有1 250 mAhg-1的高放电比容量,经100圈循环后比容量保持在789 mAh g-1.在2 C的倍率下循环1 000圈后仍能达到576 mAhg-1的放电比容量,容量保持率为70％,明显优于对比样品.因此,Fe2C3/CC能够很好地抑制多硫化物的穿梭,提高电池倍率性能和循环稳定性.
Abstract
The lithium-sulfur(Li-S)battery is a promising energy storage system because of its high energy density and low cost.However,the shuttling of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)and low conductivity of the S cathode are barriers to its practical application.Fe2O3 nanorods were grown on a carbon cloth(Fe2O3/CC)by a solvothermal reaction and calcination to obtain a cathode for the battery.The mesoporous structure of the Fe2O3 and the CC conducting network facilitates lithium-ion and electron transport.Meanwhile,the nanorod arrangement results in the exposure of more Fe2O3 active sites,which improves the adsorption and rapid conversion of LiPSs.As a result,a Li-S cell using a Fe2O3/CC cathode has a high capacity of 1 250 mAh g-1at 0.1 C with an excellent life of over 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 67％.It also has a 70％capacity retention after 1 000 cycles at 0.2 C.The excellent electrochemical performance of the Fe2O3/CC cathode indicates its potential applications in Li-S batteries.
