[0004] Chinese patent (Application No. 200910111579.8) discloses an ordered mesoporous carbon-sulfur nanocomposite cathode material and its preparation method. Since the prepared mesoporous carbon has a very close double-pore distribution, it is easy to mix ions and electrolytes during sulfur filling. The transmission channel of the active substance is blocked, resulting in a low utilization rate of the active substance sulfur, which limits its development
[0005] Chinese patent (Application No. 201010513866.4) discloses a method for preparing cathode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries by sputtering. However, due to the expensive equipment used, its industrialized mass production is limited.
[0006] Chinese patent (Application No. 200910241977.1) discloses a lithium-sulfur battery cathode material containing a sulfur-containing conductive polymer-sulfur compound. Because the thiophene used in the preparation process is not safe and environmentally friendly, its development is limited.
[0007] Chinese patent (Application No. 201010181391.3) discloses a method for preparing a hollow carbon nanotube filled with sulfur cathode material, but because it needs to be operated under high temperature and high pressure conditions, the process is relatively cumbersome, which also limits its development
[0008] In summary, the existing lithium-sulfur battery cathode materials (composite of sulfur and conductive materials) need to be improved both in terms of product performance and commercial value.

Abstract

The invention relates to a carbon-sulphur composite used for a cathode material of a lithium sulphur battery as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The carbon-sulphur composite comprises a carbon material and elemental sulphur, wherein the carbon material is formed by doping mesoporous carbon with the aperture of 2-5nm and electroconductive carbon with the aperture of 30-70nm, and the electroconductive carbon with the aperture of 30-70nm contains micropores with the aperture of 0.5-1.7nm; and the elemental sulphur accounts for 10-90wt% of the total quantity of the composite. Abundant micropores guarantee that the carbon material has larger specific surface, adsorption capacity to polysulphide is stronger, and dissolution of the polysulphide can be effectively limited, so that stability of a sulphur electrode is improved. Meso pores in porous distribution can load more sulphur active substances, electrochemical capacity of a composite material is improved, and diffusion and transmission of lithium ions and electrolyte solution can be facilitated, so that reduction polarization of the elemental sulphur is reduced and discharge plateau of the elemental sulphur is improved.
