[0020] 0.5wt% NH 4 F Electrolyte salt and 3wt% deionized water are added into the ethylene glycol solution to form an electrolyte. A two-electrode system was used, with Ti sheet as the anode and Pt as the cathode, placed in the electrolyte, anodized at 60V for 3h, and immediately placed in deionized water for ultrasonic cleaning for 15min. After cleaning, heat-treat the anodized Ti sheet at 250°C for 1 h, and then perform a second anodic oxidation for 30 min under the original preparation conditions, at which time the oxide film falls off. The oxide film was placed in a reducing atmosphere (Ar:H 2 =95:5) after calcination in the furnace for 1h and then cooled in the furnace.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a lithium sulfur battery cathode material, which is used for solving the technical problem that a lithium particle battery assembled by the conventional cathode material is low in capacity. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the following steps: preparing a TiO2 nanotube array film by adopting an anodic oxidation method; stripping the film, and fully mixing the film with sublimed sulfur in an organic solvent; and finally calcining in an inert gas atmosphere, thereby obtaining the lithium sulfur battery cathode material. According to the cathode material, elemental sulfur nanoparticles are uniformly fed in TiO2 nanotubes, and sulfur can be ensured to enter nanopores of TiO2. By utilizing the unique microstructure of the TiO2 nanotubes and high adsorption and fixation capacity of TiO2 on polysulfides, polysulfides generated by the lithium sulfur battery in the charging and discharging process are limited in the TiO2 nanotubes, a shuttle effect is reduced, the polysulfides are prevented from transferring along with electrolyte, and the conductivity of the TiO2 nanotubes is greatly improved due to heat treatment in a reducing atmosphere, so that the performance of the lithium sulfur battery is improved.
