Abstract

The invention provides a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material. The lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material comprises a matrix layer, a polymer layer and a core layer, whereinthe polymer layer wraps the matrix layer, and the core layer is arranged in the matrix layer. The invention also provides a preparation method of the lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material. In the lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material provided by the invention, the conductive polymer layer wraps the matrix layer, and the matrix layer is filled with the core layer; meanwhile, by a physical limitation effect of a one-dimensional pipeline of the matrix layer and an absorption effect of a chemical constituent, the problems that the battery capacity and cycle retention ratecan be relatively low and the integral electrochemical performance is low by a shuttle effect of intermediate product polysulfide ions generated during the charging and discharging process of a sulfur positive electrode of a lithium-sulfur battery are solved; and the matrix layer is a halloysite layer, the shuttling of the polysulfide ions can be prevented from two aspects of physical limitationand chemical absorption, the halloysite is used as natural mineral at a low cost, the cost of the position electrode also can be reduced by using the halloysite as a matrix, and promotion and application are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and in particular relates to a lithium-sulfur battery cathode material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and mobile electronic devices, batteries with higher energy density are urgently needed. In the new energy system, lithium-sulfur batteries have become one of the most promising secondary battery systems for the next generation due to their high theoretical specific energy (2600W h / kg), low cost of elemental sulfur, and environmental friendliness. [0003] Typical lithium-sulfur batteries generally use elemental sulfur as the positive electrode and metal lithium sheets as the negative electrode. However, there are three main problems in lithium-sulfur batteries: (1) elemental sulfur and the discharge product lithium sulfide are non-conductive or low-conductive substances, and the conductivity is very poo...
