Embodiment 1

[0024] 1) Preparation of porous carbon: Dissolve 10 g of sucrose in 200 mL of 6M H 2 SO 4 Then, add 0.05g of VGCF nano-carbon fiber after nitric acid treatment, stir vigorously, and after hydrothermal reaction at 180°C for 24h, suction filter, wash and dry; finally, carbonize at 1000°C for 2h at high temperature to obtain a grape bunch structure microporous carbon matrix (such as figure 1 ).

[0025] 2) Preparation of sulfur / carbon composite cathode material: 0.1g of sublimed sulfur and 0.2g of porous carbon were placed in different glass vials, which were then sealed in a reaction vessel filled with Ar, and placed in a muffle furnace at 400 After heating at ℃ for 6h, a sulfur-carbon composite material with a sulfur content of 60% was prepared.

Abstract

The invention discloses a sulfur/carbon composite material for a lithium-sulfur secondary battery and a preparation method thereof. The composite material is formed by compositing a micro-pore carbon substrate with a lithium ion conduction property and elemental sulfur filled in the micro-pore structure. The carbon substrate is used as an electronic conductor in the composite material, and is further used as a lithium ion conductor, so that sulfur electrode reaction is directly carried out on a sulfur/carbon solid-solid interface in a conversion reaction manner without directly contacting with electrolyte. Therefore, the problem of circulation caused by that a polysulfide intermediate product is dissolved in the electrolyte can be solved. Compared with the other sulfur/carbon composite electrode, the composite material has the advantages of high electrochemical capacity, good circulation stability, high charging and discharging efficiency and the like; and meanwhile, the preparation method is simple and low in cost, and has a good application prospect.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to a sulfur / carbon composite cathode material for a lithium-sulfur secondary battery and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of chemical power sources. Background technique [0003] With the increasing functional integration of portable electronic products and the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage power stations, people's demand for high energy density and low-cost secondary batteries is increasingly strong. Since the lithium-sulfur secondary battery has a theoretical energy density of up to 2600 Wh / kg, and the elemental sulfur as a positive electrode material has the advantages of abundant resources and low price, the lithium-sulfur secondary battery is considered to be the next high-end lithium-ion battery. The focus of specific energy secondary battery development. [0004] However, due to the elemental sulfur (S) and its reduction final product lithium sulfide (Li 2...
