Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, there are three major obstacles to the development of lithium-sulfur batteries: 1) The cathode material sulfur is a typical electronic and ion insulator at room temperature, and its electronic conductivity is only 5×10 -30 S cm -1 , which limits the utilization of active materials; 2) The intermediate product lithium polysulfides produced during charge and discharge have a high solubility in organic electrolytes, and these polysulfide ions migrate to the lithium anode through the separator and react with lithium to form Li 2 S 2 or Li 2 S, causing the loss of a

Embodiment 1

[0027] A method for preparing a carbon-sulfur composite material for a positive electrode of a lithium-sulfur battery, the steps are as follows:

[0028] (1) Preparation of porous hollow carbon spheres

[0029] 1) Dissolve 0.5g of 2123# thermoplastic phenolic resin in 20mL of absolute ethanol to obtain a mixed solution, stir in a water bath at 50°C, add tetraethyl orthosilicate, the mass ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate to the mixed solution is 1:12 , continue to stir for 15 minutes to form a light yellow transparent mixture;

[0030] 2) Quickly pour 50mL of ammonia-water-ethanol mixed solution with a volume ratio of 1:4 into the above-mentioned transparent mixed solution, stir vigorously, react at 50°C for 3h, slowly evaporate to dryness, and dry at 60°C for 12h to obtain a solid product ;

[0031]3) Grind the above solid product evenly, heat it to 850°C in an argon atmosphere at a heating rate of 5°C / min, react for 2 hours, and then pour it into a hydrofluoric acid soluti...
