摘要: 【目的】锂硫( Li-S)电池因其较高理论能量密度而受到广泛关注,但充放电过程中硫正极体积变化大,多硫化锂(LiPSs)穿梭效应严重,导致电池循环稳定性差、寿命短,传统非水系聚偏氟乙烯( PVDF)黏结剂难以解决以上问题。【方法】利用硫辛酸( TA)开环自聚,同时引入短链聚醚型交联剂聚乙二醇二丙烯酸酯(PEGDA)和两性离子化合物(SBMA),制备了一种硫正极用新型水性聚合物黏结剂 ——TA-PEGDA-SBMA(TPS),用以改善锂硫电池的电化学性能。【结果】采用 TPS黏结剂的硫正极在 0.25 C倍率下表现出 1 127. 6 mAh/g的初始放电比容量,经 300次稳定循环后仍保持在 835. 1 mAh/g(容量保持率为 74. 06%)。即使在 2. 0 C倍率下,其放电比容量仍高达 833. 6 mAh/g,展现出优异的倍率性能。使用该黏结剂的硫正极平均剥离强度达 1. 63 N,能够保证硫正极在充放电过程中的结构稳定性,且其丰富的极性官能团和带电基团可有效限制 LiPSs的“穿梭效应”从而综合改善锂硫电池的倍率性能及循环稳定性。【结论】 TPS黏结剂可有效抑制硫正极体积变化和 LiPSs的穿梭,效应,为实现高性能、高能量密度锂硫电池提供有效支撑。

Abstract: [Objective]Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries have garnered significant attention owing to their high theoretical energy density. However,their practical application is hindered by thesubstantial volume expansion of the sulfur cathode during charge-discharge cycling and the lithiumpolysulfide(LiPSs)shuttle effect,which collectively result in poor cycling stability and a short lifespan. Conventional non-aqueous poly(vinylidene fluoride)( PVDF) binders are inadequate in mitigating these challenges.[Methods]A novel aqueous polymer binder for the sulfur cathode,TA-PEGDA-SBMA(TPS), was prepared. This binder was synthesized via the ring-opening self-polymerization of hioctic acid(TA), incorporating a short-chain polyether crosslinker(PEGDA) and a zwitterionic compound(SBMA), with the aim of enhancing the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries.[Results]The sulfur cathode employing the TPS binder exhibited an initial discharge specific capacityof 1 127. 6 mAh/g at 0. 25 C and maintained a capacity of 835. 1 mAh/g after 300 stable cycles, corresponding to a capacity retention of 74. 06%. Remarkably,it exhibited an outstanding rate capability,retaining a high discharge specific capacity of 833. 6 mAh/g even at a high current density of 2. 0 C. The sulfur cathode employing this binder exhibited an average peel strength of 1. 63 N,ensuring the structural stability of the sulfur cathode during charge-discharge cycling. Furthermore,its abundant polar functional groups and charged moieties effectively improved the“shuttle effect”of LiPSs.[Conclusion] TPS binder can effectively suppress the volume variation of sulfur cathodes and theshuttle effect of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs). Consequently,the TPS binder significantly improved boththe rate capability and cycling performance of Li-S batteries,offering a promising strategy for the development of high-performance,high-energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries.
