Abstract

The invention discloses a titanium oxide nanotube-based lithium sulfide electrode and a preparation method thereof. The lithium sulfide electrode comprises a sheet-shaped titanium oxide nanotube array and lithium sulfide particles filled in titanium oxide nanotubes. And the lithium sulfide particles are coated with carbon layers. The lithium sulfide particles are coated with the carbon shell and the titanium oxide nanotube, the carbon shell and the titanium oxide nanotube have a space confinement effect on polysulfide lithium generated in the charging and discharging process, and the shuttle effect of the polysulfide lithium can be effectively inhibited. Meanwhile, the titanium oxide nanotube can inhibit the diffusion of polysulfide lithium through chemical bonding. And the one-dimensional tidily arranged titanium oxide nanotube array is beneficial to transportation of lithium ions. Besides, by utilizing the photoinduced super-hydrophilic performance of titanium oxide, the titanium oxide nanotube array is subjected to ultraviolet irradiation before being immersed into an aqueous solution of lithium sulfate and glucose, so that the aqueous solution of lithium sulfate and glucose can be fully injected into titanium oxide nanotubes, and finally the inhibition effect on the shuttle effect of polysulfide lithium is achieved.
