The lithium ion battery is composed of four main raw materials, namely a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a diaphragm and electrolyte, wherein the negative electrode material is one of key factors influencing the capacity, the cycle performance and the rate performance of the lithium ion battery. The theoretical capacity of a commercial graphite negative electrode which is mainly applied in the current market is only 372mAh/g, and the research and development of a negative electrode material with higher specific capacity are important tasks in the field of secondary batteries. Wherein the two-dimensional metal compound MX2The unique layered structure and lithium storage characteristics (M ═ Mo/W/Sn, etc., and X ═ S/Se/Te, etc.) make it possible to provide theoretical specific capacity over 600mAh/g, and thus it is a new type of negative electrode material with development prospect. The problems of volume expansion, byproduct dissolution and the like of an independent two-dimensional metal compound generally exist in the battery circulation process, so that the circulation performance is poor, and the problems can be effectively relieved by compounding the metal compound and a carbon material. At present, it has been reported that a hydrothermal method, a chemical vapor deposition method and the like are adopted to successfully synthesize a related two-dimensional metal compound/carbon material composite negative electrode material (such as MoS) with higher specific capacity and more stable cycling performance2、WS2、MoSe2Etc.), however, most of the methods reported at present have the defects of complicated preparation process, low yield, high cost and the like, and are in the laboratory stage.
Chinese patent CN 109671937a discloses an in-situ synthesis method of a transition metal oxide/graphene composite material, which has a process that is approximately: dissolving and mixing soluble ferric salt, soluble transition metal salt and soluble cerium salt in deionized water to obtain a uniform solution, dropwise adding a precipitator into the uniform solution, aging, filtering, washing and drying to obtain a transition metal hydroxide compound precipitate; weighing graphite and potassium permanganate, mixing, adding concentrated sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid mixed acid solution, reacting to obtain a gray green solution, carrying out ice bath treatment, adding a transition metal hydroxide compound for precipitation, then slowly adding hydrogen peroxide, stirring and dispersing to obtain a suspension of transition metal hydroxide/graphene oxide which is coated and grown mutually, and washing, centrifuging, drying and roasting the suspension to obtain the transition metal oxide/graphene composite material. In the patent technology, in the process of in-situ synthesis of graphene oxide, a transition metal hydroxide compound is directly added to obtain a transition metal oxide/graphene composite material with a porous structure, and the specific surface area reaches 100-200 m-2In each case, CeO2The addition of the graphene is beneficial to the generation of the nano-rods, the graphene is uniformly dispersed among gaps of product particles, the structure can buffer the volume expansion effect of the metal oxide in the charge-discharge cycle process, and the electrode reaction dynamic performance is improved. However, the patent technology still has the defects of complicated preparation process, low yield, high cost and the like, and cannot be industrially applied.
