Problems solved by technology

This research method has achieved certain results, but its main disadvantage is that the preparation process of special structural carbon materials or conductive polymers is complicated, which is not conducive to large-scale production and commercial application, and due to the existence of volume effect, the cycle performance of batteries needs to be further improved
[0006] Young-Jin uses sputtering to coat the surface of sulfur particles with a carbon layer. The first discharge specific capacity of the composite material is 1178mAh / g. However, after 50 cycles of the battery, the discharge specific capacity is less than half of the original capacity, which is only 500mAh / g. The reason is that the structure is destroyed by the volume effect during the battery cycle (Y.J.Choi, Y.D.Chuang, C.Y.Baek, K.W.Kim, J.H.Ahn.Journal of Power Sources (Energy Magazine), 184:548-552)
[0007] J.Wang et al. aggregated a layer of polypyrrole on the surface of sulfur particles to form a core-shell structure of polypyrrole and sulfur. The first discharge specific capacity of the composite electrode reached 1280mAh / g, but the discharge specific capacity of the battery after 20 cycles was only 600mAh / g. , the capacity retention rate is less than 50% (J.Wang, J.Chen, K.konstantinov, L.Zhao, S.H.Ng, G.X.Wang, Z.P.Guo, H.K.Liu. Electrochimica Acta, 51:4634-4638)
[0008] In summary, the art lacks a technical solution to improve the conductivity of positive electrode materials and suppress the shuttle effect

preparation example Construction

[0077] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the positive electrode, which includes the following steps:

[0078] Add the required active substances, inorganic nano-additives, and conductive agents into the solvent, and obtain a uniform dispersion through treatment;

[0079] The dispersion liquid is heated and evaporated to dryness in a water bath to obtain a uniformly dispersed solid powder material.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment, the solvent is selected from the group consisting of water, ethanol, acetone, butanone, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, toluene, xylene, and NMP.

[0081] When preparing the positive electrode, put an appropriate amount of electrode material in a solvent, stir evenly to form a slurry, coat it on the current collector electrode such as aluminum foil, dry, roll and cut to obtain the positive electrode sheet of the lithium-sulfur battery. Preferably, the positive electrode slurry has a solid content of 0.01g / ...

Embodiment approach

[0095] The present invention designs an inorganic nano-compound with catalytic activity as a sulfur positive electrode additive. The inorganic nano-additive has a catalytic effect on the lithium-sulfur battery reaction, reduces the activation energy of the reaction, and improves the reversibility of the battery reaction. Therefore, the coulombic efficiency of the battery can be improved, and the discharge ratio of the battery can be improved. capacity and battery cycle performance. At the same time, additives can be adsorbed on sulfur and polysulfides generated in the battery reaction, which can improve the dispersion of sulfur and inhibit the shuttle effect; oxide additives can increase the specific surface area and pore volume of the electrode, improve the contact between the electrode and the electrolyte, and reduce Battery resistance; In short, oxide additives can significantly improve battery performance and prolong battery life.
