Preparation method of tungsten-doped cobalt tetraoxide and use thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a preparation method of tungsten-doped cobalt tetraoxide and use thereof. The preparation method includes the following steps: dissolving a tungsten-containing compound and a molybdenum-containing compound in an alkali liquid to obtain a mixed solution; concurrently feeding the mixed solution, a cobalt salt solution, and a complexing agent into a base solution to allow a reaction to obtain a precipitate; roasting the precipitate in an oxygen-containing atmosphere to obtain a roasted material; and soaking the roasted material in a sodium sulfide solution to obtain the tungsten-doped cobalt tetraoxide. In the present disclosure, tungsten is doped, and tungsten has a large atomic radius, which stabilizes an internal structure of the material, expands the ion channel, and improves the cycling performance of the material; and molybdenum is removed through a soaking process, which provides atomic vacancies to further improve a specific capacity of the material.
