Problems solved by technology

The above shuttle effect always exists during the operation of the battery, which is manifested by reducing the utilization rate of the active material during the discharge process and reducing the Coulombic efficiency during the charge process.
3) The battery cycle capacity decays seriously
The main reason is that the insulating insoluble Li, which is completely separated from the electronic conductor, is gradually deposited on the positive side. 2 S / Li 2 S 2 Agglomeration, resulting in loss of active substance sulfur
In addition, the stress caused by the huge volume change of the positive and negative electrode materials will also lead to the destruction of the electrode structure.
4) Poor electrode reversibility and high rate performance
In contrast, these measures can only improve the cycle stability to a certain extent, but cannot fundamentally solve the cycle stability of lithium-sulfur batteries. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new methods to improve the cycle stability of lithium-sulfur batteries.

Abstract

The invention relates to a positive electrode for a lithium sulfur battery. The material of the positive electrode is a one or two or above two of a carbon-sulfur composite material, a sulfur-conductive polymer composite material and a sulfur-metal oxide composite material, and the content of sulfur in the positive electrode material is 10-95%; the positive electrode material also contains nano-gold or / and nano-silver particles; and a ratio of the total addition of the nano-gold or / and silver to the mass of the positive electrode material is 1:(0.01-1). The electronic orbital effect of the nano-gold or / and silver is used to complex polysulfide in order to make products in the discharge process maximally fixed in a positive electrode region, so the self discharge phenomenon caused by the dissolution of the polysulfide is effectively inhibited, thereby the coulomb efficiency and the cycle stability of the lithium sulfur battery are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lithium-sulfur battery, in particular to a positive-stage material for the lithium-sulfur battery. Background technique [0002] Lithium-sulfur battery is a secondary battery with metal lithium as the negative electrode and elemental sulfur as the positive electrode. Its specific energy can theoretically reach 2600Wh / kg, and the actual energy density can reach 300Wh / kg at present, and it is very likely to increase to 300Wh / kg in the next few years. At the same time, the elemental sulfur cathode material has the advantages of abundant sources, low price, and environmental friendliness, and is considered to be one of the most attractive secondary battery systems at present. [0003] However, after nearly 30 years of research, except for the application demonstrations of a few companies in the high-end field in recent years, lithium-sulfur batteries are still not commercially available. This is because some serious defects inhe...
