The invention provides a lithiated
halloysite lithium-
sulfur battery positive
electrode material, which is obtained by taking
halloysite as a
raw material and carrying out lithiation and
sulfur loading, the length of the
halloysite in the positive
electrode material is 0.05-2 microns, the outer
diameter of the halloysite is 30-100nm, and the thickness of the tube wall is 6-25nm; the
sulfur loadingamount of the positive
electrode material is 80% or more. According to the invention, the lithiated halloysite is applied to the
lithium-sulfur battery positive
electrode material for the first time,and
lithium ions are adsorbed on the outer wall of a negatively charged tube of the halloysite through lithiation, so that the
diffusion of the lithium ions is promoted, the contact with an
electrolyte is facilitated, and the electrochemical reaction
kinetics is improved. The high-sulfur-loading positively-charged tube inner wall adsorbs
polysulfide anions generated in the charging and discharging process of the lithium-sulfur battery by utilizing the tube cavity space of the halloysite, so that the shuttle effect is inhibited. After lithiation, the rate capability, the specific capacity andthe
cycling stability of the battery are remarkably improved. The preparation method disclosed by the invention takes cheap and easily available halloysite as a
raw material, is low in cost and simplein process, and has an industrialization prospect.
