清华大学成会明和周光敏课题组--石墨烯支持的单原子催化剂实现MoS2和Mo/Na2S之间的高效可逆转化

由于相对较高的容量和本质安全性，基于转换型金属硫化物 (MS) 钠离子电池 (SIBs) 负极引起了极大的关注。M/Na₂S 在电荷中高度可逆地转化为原始MS，对电化学性能起着至关重要的作用。在这里，以传统的 MoS₂ 为例，在理论模拟的指导下，选择了氮掺杂石墨烯上的铁单原子催化剂（SAFe@NG），并首先将其用作基材，以促进 MoS₂ 在放电过程中的反应动力学。在接下来的充电过程中，结合光谱学和显微镜，证明了 SAFe@NG 催化剂能够实现 Mo/Na₂S→NaMoS₂→MoS₂ 的高效可逆转化反应。此外，理论模拟表明可逆转换机制显示出良好的形成能垒和反应动力学，其中具有 Fe-N₄ 配位中心的 SAFe@NG 促进了 Na₂S/Mo 的均匀分散以及 Na₂S 和 NaMoS₂ 的分解。因此，SAFe@NG 催化剂可以实现高效的可逆转化反应 MoS₂↔NaMoS₂↔Mo/Na₂S。这项工作为设计具有高效可逆机制的转换型材料提供了新的途径。
