Problems solved by technology

Although the preparation of the electrode is simple, there are some problems: 1. The carbon-sulfur composite and the current collector are only bonded together by a binder, and the contact resistance between the two cannot be avoided; 2. Additional conductive agents are added to increase The content of carbon in the positive electrode is reduced, which is equivalent to reducing the content of elemental sulfur, thereby reducing the energy density of the battery; 3. The binders added are all high-molecular organic substances, which are expensive, and these organic substances are easily damaged during battery operation. Decompose or dissolve into the electrolyte, affecting the cycle stability of the battery

Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated electrode for a lithium sulphur battery and a preparation method of the integrated electrode. The integrated electrode is composed of a current collector, and a carbon-sulphur compound which is formed by than the current collector is subjected to in-situ growth; the carbon-sulphur compound comprises a conductive carbon material, and elemental sulphur with which a porous structure of the carbon material is filled, wherein the elemental sulphur accounts for 10 to 95% the carbon-sulphur compound in percentage by mass and is of 0.1 to 5mg/cm<2> in equivalent weight based on the current collector. The integrated electrode is simple in process and easy to realize. The electrode prepared by adopting the method is able to obviously reduce the contact resistance between the current collector and the carbon-sulphur compound and the utilization rate of active substance naming sulphur is also increased; in addition, the integrated electrode does not need any adhesive, so that the problem that the battery is poor in cycling stability because of the stability of the adhesive can be avoided, the cost is also saved, and the high commercial value is achieved.
