Abstract

The invention discloses a sulfur / porous carbon-coated carbon nano tube compound positive material for a lithium-sulfur battery and a preparation method thereof. The lithium-sulfur battery compound positive material is formed by compounding a carbon nano tube compound carbon material coated with porous carbon with a micro-nano structure and elemental sulfur. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: firstly coating poly-dopamine on the surface of a carbon nano tube; then carrying out high temperature carbonization, and compounding with the elemental sulfur to obtain the compound positive material. The preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of easiness for operation and low cost. The prepared lithium-sulfur battery compound positive material is high in sulfur utilization ratio and greatly enhances the cycle property of the lithium-sulfur battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sulfur / porous carbon-coated carbon nanotube composite cathode material for lithium-sulfur batteries and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of new energy. Background technique [0002] With the widespread application of lithium-ion batteries in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, there is an urgent need to develop batteries with higher energy density. As the specific capacity of lithium-ion battery cathode materials is limited, it is difficult to further increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. At the same time, increasing the energy density by increasing the voltage platform of the cathode material will bring safety problems. Changing the cathode material from the "deintercalation mechanism" to the "conversion reaction chemical mechanism" is expected to obtain materials with high specific capacity and specific energy. Elemental sulfur is one of the mo...
