Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, single-walled carbon nanotubes are also widely used as current collectors for flexible batteries. However, lithium polysulfides are often dissolved in organic electrolytes due to the formation of lithium polysulfides in lithium-sulfur batteries during charging and discharging. The active material is lost. Therefore, the current research focuses on finding a material that can be used as a carrier to wrap the sulfur element well so that it can bind the lithium polysulfide generated during the charge and discharge process in a certain area so that it will not be lost in a large amount and cause capacity. rapid loss of
[0004] CN106981649A discloses a preparation method of lithium-sulfur battery cathode material, which is a pore-making technology that combines template method and spray drying technology to modify the structure of graphene to prepare graphene hollow spheres, and then through ball milling and hot melting method The process of doping sulfur, the method of preparing graphene hollow sphere-sulfur composite three-dimensional structure lithium-sulfur battery cathode material, although to a certain extent overcomes the obvious defect of polysulfide "shuttle effect" in the lithium-sulfur battery cathode material prepared by the prior art, However, carbon materials have limited ability to bind sulfur, and the preparation process is complicated, so it is not easy to scale up production

Abstract

The invention relates to a lithium-sulfur battery flexible electrode material and preparation method and application thereof. The lithium-sulfur battery flexible electrode material comprises a VOx nanometer hollow sphere wound with a single-walled carbon nanotube, wherein elemental sulfur is coated in the VOx nanometer hollow sphere, and x is equal to 1.5 to 2.5. By means of an absorption effect of VOx on lithium polysulfide and a wrapping effect of a hollow sphere structure on the polysulfide, the VOx nanometer hollow sphere is combined with the single-walled carbon nanotube, the binding capability of the lithium-sulfur battery flexible electrode material on the elemental sulfur and the polysulfide is synergically improved, and the lithium-sulfur battery flexible electrode material has excellent cycle stability and high battery capacity during the charge-discharge process. The initial discharging capacity of a VOx flexible film with a diameter about 200 nanometer under 1C rate currentcan reach 1,069mAh / g or above and still can reach 614mAh / g or above under 20C rate current; the lithium-sulfur battery flexible electrode material is excellent in cycle efficiency, and the capacity still can be maintained at 69% or above after charging and discharging for 300 circles; and after the lithium-sulfur battery flexible electrode material is used as a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode assembled to form a flexible soft package battery, the voltage stability is high under different bending angles, the cycle property is excellent under different bending angles, and the capacityreduction rate is average less than 0.32% after 20-100 circles.
