Embodiment 1

[0033] Dissolve butadiene rubber and elemental sulfur in toluene, the mass ratio of butadiene rubber and elemental sulfur is 1:4, add ultraviolet light initiator dialkoxy acetophenone, the amount of ultraviolet light initiator is the mass of butadiene rubber After stirring evenly, under the protection of nitrogen, irradiate with 365 nm ultraviolet light for 12 hours, then separate the reaction product, wash, and dry to obtain the polymer-coated sulfur composite material. Its structure diagram is as follows figure 1 shown.

[0034] After infrared testing, it was found that the absorption peak of the C=C double bond in the infrared spectrum completely disappeared, indicating that the butadiene rubber had fully participated in the reaction; in addition, through the thermogravimetric test, the sulfur content in the composite material was 78.2 wt%.

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method and an application of a polymer coated sulfur composite. The preparation method comprises the following steps of dissolving an unsaturated carbon-carbon double bond polymer and elemental sulfur in an organic solvent, then adding an ultraviolet initiator, uniformly mixing, carrying out ultraviolet irradiation under inert gas to allow the unsaturated carbon-carbon double bond polymer to carry out free radical polymerization reaction, and then separating obtained solid to prepare the polymer coated sulfur composite. The composite has a higher sulfur content, solves the problem of the lower sulfur content in the composite for a lithium-sulphur battery anode at present, effectively inhibits dissolution of sulfur and finally greatly improves cycling stability of an active material. In addition, a preparation technology is simple, the raw material cost is low, and the composite has good industrial and commercial prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrochemistry, and more specifically, relates to a preparation method for a cathode material of a lithium-sulfur battery. Background technique [0002] With the depletion of fossil fuels and the aggravation of global environmental problems such as air pollution, there is an urgent need for a new type of renewable and clean energy to meet people's current energy needs. Due to the relatively high energy density of lithium-ion batteries, lithium-ion batteries have become the main power source of portable electronic products at present. However, traditional cathode materials for embedded lithium-ion batteries, such as LiCoO 2 , LiMn 2 o 4 and LiFePO 4 The theoretical and actual specific capacity of the battery is far from meeting the requirements of future electric vehicle applications, so it is of great significance to develop a new type of battery material with a higher specific capacity. The theoretical spe...
