研究目的
To develop a rapid one-step flame combustion deposition method for fabricating mesoporous metal sulfides directly on nickel foam without binder and template, and to evaluate their electrochemical performance for energy storage applications.
研究成果
The study successfully developed a one-step template-free flame synthesis route for mesoporous metal sulfides with high crystallinity and electrochemical performance, demonstrating RSDT as an efficient and scalable method for energy storage materials.
研究不足
The high combustion temperature and oxidizing atmosphere could lead to oxidation of metal species, mitigated by using a nitrogen shield; scalability and industrial application may require further optimization; potential for oxide or hydroxide formation in alkaline electrolytes affecting long-term stability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A customized reactive spray deposition technology (RSDT) was used, involving a flame combustion synthetic route in an open atmosphere with modifications to prevent oxidation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Organometallic precursors and thiourea-dissolved solvents were used; samples included Co9S8, Ni3S4, NiCo2S4, and FeS deposited on nickel foam.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an atomization nozzle, quartz shroud with nitrogen shield gas, and various analytical instruments (SEM, TEM, PXRD, XPS, EDS, nitrogen sorption analyzer). Materials included nickel foam, organometallic precursors, thiourea, and solvents.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Precursors and solvents were fed through an atomization nozzle, ignited to form a jet-diffusion flame, with reactions producing H2S and forming metal sulfide particles; deposition occurred directly on substrates.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Crystallinity and phases analyzed via PXRD and SAED; morphology via SEM and TEM; surface area and pore size via nitrogen sorption and BJH method; elemental properties via EDS and XPS; electrochemical performance via cyclic voltammetry, chronopotentiometry, and cycling tests.
