Abstract

The invention discloses a carbon sulfur compound anode for a secondary battery. The anode is formed by compounding a carbon nanotube array, sulfur and graphene, is provided with a three-dimensional network conductive framework and is good in electrochemical performance. A preparation method of the anode comprises the following steps: compounding elemental sulfur in the carbon nanotube array at first and then wrapping an outer layer with few graphene sheet layers. The preparation method is simple in process, low in cost and environment-friendly due to nonuse of toxic raw materials; moreover, the compound anode does not need to be added with a conductive agent and a bonder, and is high in energy density and sulfur utilization rate, and the rate performance and the cycle performance of the secondary aluminum battery are greatly improved.
