Preparation of Co-nanocluster graphene composite by asymmetric domain-limited electrochemical exfoliation for functionalized lithium-sulfur battery separator applications
JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS(2023)
摘要
Transition metal nanocluster graphene composite exhibits better performance in energy storage materials than heteroatom graphene composite. In catalytic function separator materials for lithium-sulfur batteries, the introduction of functionalized graphene into asymmetric separators effectively seals and anchors soluble polysulfides, largely mitigating the notorious "shuttle effect". Here, we report the development of a novel asymmetric domain-limited electrochemical (ALE) exfoliation of graphite foils (natural-scaled graphite) to prepare Co-nanocluster graphene composite nanosheets (labeled as Co-G). Co-G has a large lateral size, many surface folds, and few intrinsic defects (ID/IG = 0.38). Co-nanocluster graphene composite promotes redox kinetic conversion, and its high electronic conductivity allows it to act as a second collector, accelerating charge transfer, improving the utilization of active material, and increasing cyclic stability. A lithium-sulfur battery incorporating a Co-G modified separator achieved an initial discharge capacity of 1315.5 mAh/g at 0.5 C with excellent multiplicity performance (932.3 mAh/g specific capacity at 2 C multiplicity) and cycling stability (848.4 mAh/g after 400 cycles). The asymmetric domain-limited electrochemical (ALE) method is a viable approach to the preparation of catalytic function separator materials for lithium-sulfur batteries that will have high magnification and high cyclic stability.& COPY; 2023 Published by Elsevier B.V.
