Problems solved by technology

However, the biggest challenge in the process of this scheme is how to overcome the loss of active material sulfur caused by the high temperature environment of the carbonization process
Usually, the carbonization temperature is about 600 degrees Celsius. In order to obtain a higher degree of graphitization and improve electrical conductivity, the temperature needs to be higher. The melting point of elemental sulfur is 115 degrees Celsius and the boiling point is 444 degrees Celsius, which will inevitably lead to the loss of sulfur during carbonization.

Abstract

The invention relates to a composite electrode material for a lithium-sulfur battery anode and a preparation method thereof. The composite electrode material is composed of a carbon material and lithium sulfide. The electrode material takes the compound of lithium sulfide and the carbon material as the substrate, the carbonization reaction of a carbon-containing compound is utilized to generate a carbon layer on the substrate surface, the lithium sulfide is sealed and coated in the pore channels of carbon, and the mass fraction of lithium sulfide in the composite electrode material is 40%-89%. The lithium-sulfur battery anode material prepared by the method can effectively avoid dissolution and diffusion of polysulfides in a charge-discharge process, thereby improving the cyclic stability and capacity of the battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of lithium-sulfur batteries, and in particular relates to an electrode material for positive electrodes of lithium-sulfur batteries. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of electronics, communication equipment and electric vehicles, people put forward higher requirements for battery performance. Lithium-sulfur battery is a secondary battery that uses metallic lithium as the negative electrode and sulfur as the positive electrode active material. Metal lithium as the negative electrode material has the lowest theoretical voltage, and its theoretical specific capacity is as high as 3,862mAh / g, and the specific capacity of sulfur as the positive electrode active material is also as high as 1,672mAh / g. Therefore, lithium-sulfur batteries have extremely high specific energy. Taking lithium as the standard, its theoretical value can reach 2,600Wh / kg, and the actual specific energy is much higher than t...
