Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, lithium-sulfur batteries also have some defects: first, the electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity of elemental sulfur and its discharge product lithium sulfide are very poor, and it is generally necessary to add other conductive materials to improve the conductivity of the electrode; second, The intermediate product lithium polysulfide generated by the reaction of sulfur in the process of charge and discharge is easier to dissolve in the electrolyte and shuttle back and forth between the positive and negative electrodes, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of sulfur in the active material and corrosion of the lithium negative electrode, making the battery cycle stable. Third, due to the difference in density between sulfur and the discharge product lithium sulfide, the volume of the electrode changes by 8...

Abstract

The invention discloses a nanometer sulfur-based positive electrode composite material for lithium sulfur batteries, and a preparation method thereof. The positive composite material is prepared through compounding a core-shell structure with reduced graphene oxide, the core-shell structure is formed by nanometer elemental sulfur and a conductive polymer nanoparticle, and the sulfur-conductive polymer nanoparticle core-shell structure is uniformly inlaid between graphene sheets to form a sandwiched three-dimensional conductive network. The preparation method of the positive electrode composite material comprises the following steps: forming the core-shell structure through in situ polymerization of the conductive polymer nanoparticle on the surface of the nanometer elemental sulfur core prepared through a low temperature liquid phase technology, and coating the surface of the core-shell structure with the reduced graphene oxide to obtain the positive electrode composite material for lithium sulfur batteries. The positive electrode composite material has the advantages of simple preparation process, low cost, small energy consumption, controllable sulfur content, strong repeatability and easy large-scale production. The positive electrode composite material can improve the discharge specific capacity of a battery material and the active substance utilization rate as a lithium sulfur battery positive electrode material in order to greatly improve the cycle performances of the battery.
