How to prove “The maps factoring through an injective object are precisely the null-homotopic maps”
$begingroup$
Thanks for your attention,
I'm an undergraduate. I'm reading the book of Dieter Happel, Triangulated categories in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras,
I cannot prove this sentence:
"The maps factoring through an injective object are precisely the null-homotopic maps."
Here, the object is in the complex category.
Please give a complete proof or some references which take it!

You should describe the context in which that statement appears.

In any case, this follows from the very special form which the injective objects have: to see this, notice that you can describe precisely the indecomposable injectives.

It's not true. Where in Happel's book does this sentence appear? What is true is that the null-homotopic maps are the ones factoring through $mathcal{S}$-injective objects, where $mathcal{S}$ is the class of short exact sequences of complexes that are split in each degree.
