The invention relates to a preparation method of a network-like carbon-loaded iron-based compound material and an application of the network-like carbon-loaded iron-based compound material in a
lithium-
sulfur battery, and belongs to the field of
electrochemistry; the method comprises the following steps of taking slightly oxidized
graphene as a substrate, taking
ferric nitrate nonahydrate as an
iron source, taking glucose hydrothermal carbon as a
carbon source of iron
carbide and a pore-forming substrate, taking
ammonia gas generated in the high-temperature
pyrolysis process of
melamine as a
nitrogen source of an iron-
nitrogen compound, and meanwhile, enabling
ammonia to corrode the glucose hydrothermal
carbon substrate to generate a net-shaped structure. The method has the beneficial effects that 1) the process is simple, and the product cost is low; 2) the obtained positive
electrode material has a rich hole structure and
ion and
electron transport channels, the
conductivity of the material can be improved, and the loss of the
polysulfide compound can be effectively inhibited, the stability of the
electrode material is remarkably improved, and the electrochemical performance is improved; and 4) the adsorption and
catalysis of the
polysulfide compound are achieved by utilizing the synergistic effect of the iron
carbide and the iron-
nitrogen compound, and the catalytic action can be used for accelerating the
reaction dynamics of the
lithium-
sulfur battery, so that the transition of the soluble
polysulfide compound to insoluble
sulfide is accelerated, and the shuttle effectis greatly inhibited.
