Problems solved by technology

However, carbon nanotubes are easy to agglomerate due to their large specific surface area, which makes it difficult to disperse uniformly in the positive electrode, which is not conducive to building a good conductive structure; and the positive electrode contains polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF with poor conductivity, which will reduce the conductivity of the positive electrode. sex

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method for an anode of a lithium-sulfur battery, which comprises the following steps of: (1) the pretreatment of a metal foil: cutting the metal foil, wiping a surface of a wafer by using an acetone-contained cotton ball, putting the wafer in distilled water for cleaning in ultrasound, and taking out and airing the wafer; (2) the preparation of a carbon fiber film: putting the wafer in a cavity of a chemical vapor deposition device, and preparing the carbon fiber film on the surface of the wafer through a method of decomposing or thermally decomposing a reaction gas by a plasma, wherein the wafer serves as a catalyst; and (3) the sulfurizing of the carbon fiber film: uniformly spreading sulfur powder on the surface of the carbon fiber film, putting a metal wafer in a tubular furnace to preserve the heat of the metal wafer in the atmosphere of argon, and cooling the wafer to the room temperature to prepare the anode of the lithium-sulfur battery. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method has the advantage of being capable of greatly improving anode conductivity and polysulfide adsorbability, and therefore, large specific discharge capacity and high circular anode discharge stability are obtained; in addition, the anode is in no need of drying, so that the preparation method has the advantage of saving time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a positive electrode of a lithium-sulfur battery, belonging to the field of electrochemical batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium-sulfur battery is a secondary battery that utilizes the chemical reaction between lithium and sulfur. Its negative electrode is metal lithium sheet, and its positive electrode is a sulfur-containing material. When discharging, the negative electrode generates lithium ions, and the sulfur in the positive electrode reacts with lithium ions to form sulfide. When charging, the positive and negative reactions are reversed. The theoretical mass specific capacity of elemental sulfur is 1675mAh / g, which is higher than the theoretical discharge specific capacity (LiCoO 2 , LiNiO 2 and LiMn 2 o 4 The theoretical discharge specific capacities are 274mAh / g, 274mAh / g and 148mAh / g respectively). In addition, elemental sulfur is cheap and environmentally friendly, which makes l...
