Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional carbon nanotubes are disordered and agglomerated, and the sulfur is mainly loaded through the adsorption on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. The sulfur content in the composite material is low and the distribution is uneven.
When charging and discharging, a large amount of sulfur will directly dissolve into the electrolyte from the surface of carbon nanotubes, resulting in the loss of active materials, and it is difficult to increase the energy density of the battery.
In addition, the addition of inactive material conductive agent and binder in the electrode also greatly reduces the energy density of the electrode

Abstract

The invention discloses a carbon-sulphur composite electrode based on carbon nano tube arrays and a preparation method of the carbon-sulphur composite electrode. The carbon-sulphur composite electrode is formed by compounding the carbon nano tube arrays and a conductive substrate with a sulphur-containing active substance. The preparation method of the carbon-sulphur composite electrode comprises the steps that directionally arranged carbon nano tube arrays are vertically grown on the surface of the conductive substrate and the sulphur-containing active substance is infiltrated into the structure of the carbon nano tube arrays by virtue of heat treatment. The preparation method of the carbon-sulphur composite electrode is simple in operation and low in cost, a conductive agent and a binding agent are not additionally added in the prepared carbon-sulphur composite electrode, the active substance of the carbon-sulphur composite electrode is contacted with an electric conductor in nano scale, contact resistance is low, rate is high, and energy density is high.
