Problems solved by technology

This phenomenon, known as the shuttle effect, reduces the availability of sulfur active species
At the same time insoluble Li 2 S and Li 2 S 2 Deposited on the surface of the lithium negative electrode, which further deteriorates the performance of the lithium-sulfur battery; (3) the final product of the reaction, Li 2 S is also an electronic insulator and will be deposited on the sulfur electrode, while lithium ions migrate slowly in solid lithium sulfide, slowing down the electrochemical reaction kinetics; (4) sulfur and the final product Li 2 The density of S is different. When sulfur is lithiated, the volume expands by about 79%, which easily leads to Li 2 Pulverization of S, causing safety problems in lithium-sulfur batteries
The above deficiencies restrict the development of lithium-sulfur batteries, which is also a key issue that needs to be solved in current research on lithium-sulfur batteries.

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method for a three-dimensional carbon nanotube / graphene / sulfur electrode slice. The preparation method comprises the following steps of (1) adding the carbon nanotube, graphene and polyacrylonitrile to N-methyl pyrrolidone, performing an ultrasonic reaction, coating an aluminium foil with mixed paste, and performing vacuum drying to obtain the electrode slice; (2) putting the obtained electrode slice into a muffle furnace under inert gas protection, slowly heating to 400-500 DEG C, and naturally cooling; and (3) enabling the electrode slice obtained in the step (2) to be fully inserted into a Na2S2O3 solution, standing for 30-60min, and slowly adding hydrochloric acid to the solution in a dropwise manner until the PH value of the solution reaches 7, taking out the electrode slice, and drying the electrode slice to obtain a positive plate. The electrode slice prepared by the invention can be directly used for the positive electrode of a lithium-sulfur battery without requiring a conductive agent and a binder, so that the cost of the electrode is greatly lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the synthesis of nanometer materials, in particular to a preparation method of a cathode material of a lithium-sulfur battery. Background technique [0002] A lithium-sulfur battery is a battery system in which metallic lithium is used as the negative electrode and elemental sulfur is used as the positive electrode. Lithium-sulfur batteries have two discharge platforms (about 2.4V and 2.1V), but their electrochemical reaction mechanism is relatively complicated. Lithium-sulfur batteries have the advantages of high specific energy (2600Wh / kg), high specific capacity (1675mAh / g), and low cost, and are considered to be a promising new generation of batteries. However, at present, there are problems such as low utilization of active materials, low cycle life and poor safety, which seriously restrict the development of lithium-sulfur batteries. The main reasons for the above problems are as follows: (1) elemental sulfur is an elec...
