Problems solved by technology

However, it will cause the mass fraction of the active material sulfur in the entire electrode to decrease, and the surface density of the active material will decrease after being made into the positive electrode sheet of the lithium-sulfur battery, etc., and then cannot reflect its advantages of high specific capacity and high specific energy density, thus limiting Commercial application of lithium-sulfur batteries
At the same time, the relevant design does not consider the application of lithium-sulfur batteries in flexible batteries. The reported preparation method of lithium-sulfur electrodes is basically to directly coat the active material slurry on the metal aluminum foil.
The repeated deformation of the active material and the current collector in the electrode can easily lead to the separation of the active material and damage the integrity of the pole piece, resulting in a sharp deterioration in the performance of the lithium-sulfur battery device

Embodiment 1

[0035] First, use nickel foam as a template (75mm×75mm×1.9mm, the pore size distribution is about 110PPI, and the surface density is about 300g / m 2 ), adopt CVD method, obtain the nickel foam of surface coating graphene, the average thickness of growth graphene film is about 100nm.

[0036] Then, the polydimethylsiloxane and the dibutyltin dilaurate curing agent were diluted in ethyl acetate according to the volume ratio of (10:1) to obtain a polymer diluent. The high molecular polymer dilution was coated on the graphene-coated nickel foam by pulling and impregnating, and dried and cured in an oven at 80°C for 6 hours. Then put it into 3mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, react at 80°C for 12 hours to dissolve the foamed nickel template, and finally obtain a graphene / polymer flexible foam with self-healing ability.

[0046] The difference from Example 1 is:

[0047] Polydimethylsiloxane and dibutyltin dilaurate were replaced by polyamide-polyester copolymers to enhance the flexibility of the three-dimensional graphene network and impart certain self-healing properties. The reaction process is as follows: the dimer acid is first mixed with diethylenetriamine, and the end of the reactant is NH 2 oligomers. Then the oligomer (M-NH 2 t) React with urea, control the amount of urea added and the reaction time, dilute it with toluene, apply the diluted solution to the graphene-coated nickel foam by spraying, and dry it in an oven at 80°C Cured for 10h.
