Abstract

In recent years, lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are considered as one of the most promising new generation energies with the advantages of high theoretical specific capacity of sulfur (1675 mAh·g−1), abundant sulfur resources, and environmental friendliness storage technologies, and they are receiving wide attention from the industry. However, the problems of the shuttle effect and lithium dendrite growth in LSBs have limited their practical application, so there is a need to find ways to solve these problems. It is an excellent choice to use novel materials to modify battery materials. Among those novel materials, the metal–organic framework (MOF) has the properties of regular pores and controllable structure. When applied as a positive electrode and diaphragm, it can restrain the shuttle effect and lithium dendrite growth, especially since it shows excellent performance in diaphragm modification. Therefore, various design strategies and synthesis methods of MOF-modified separators are reviewed in this paper, and the applications of MOF in LSBs separators in different forms are introduced, including the composite of MOF and carbon-based materials, the compounding of MOF and polymer, self-carbonization to form MOF-derived materials. At the same time, different characterization techniques are systematically reviewed to obtain the physical and chemical properties of MOF particles and the working mechanism of MOF-modified diaphragm, which provides a basis for further research in this field. Finally, some future research trends and directions are put forward to fully tap the future commercial potential of MOF-modified diaphragm in LSBs.

摘要

近年来, 锂硫电池 (LSBs) 以硫的理论比容量高(1675 mAh·g−1)、硫资源丰富、环保等优点被认为是最有发展前景的新一代能源存储技术之一, 受到了业界的广泛关注。然而, 锂硫电池的穿梭效应和锂枝晶生长问题限制了其实际应用, 因此有必要寻找解决这些问题的方法。利用新型材料对电池材料进行改性是一种很好的选择。在这些新型材料中, 金属有机骨架(MOF)具有孔道规整、结构可控等特点。当用作正极和隔膜时, 它可以抑制穿梭效应和锂枝晶的生长, 特别是因为它在隔膜改性方面表现出了良好的性能。为此, 本文综述了MOF改性改性隔膜的各种设计策略和合成方法, 并介绍了MOF在锂硫电池隔膜中不同形式的应用, 包括MOF与碳基材料的复合、MOF与聚合物的复合、碳化形成MOF衍生材料。同时, 对不同的表征技术进行了系统的综述, 获得了MOF颗粒的物理化学性质和MOF改性隔膜的工作机理, 为该领域的进一步研究提供了基础。最后提出了今后的研究趋势和方向, 以充分挖掘MOF改性隔膜在锂硫电池中的未来商业潜力。
