Problems solved by technology

The lithium storage mechanism of the positive electrode material of the current commercial secondary lithium battery is the intercalation reaction mechanism, and the number of electrons transferred in the electrochemical process is less than one electron. Therefore, the mass specific energy density of the secondary lithium battery assembled with these electrode materials is generally lower than 200Wh / kg, its performance has reached or is close to the limit of the theoretical capacity of the material, so the cathode material has become the bottleneck for the further improvement of the performance of the secondary lithium battery
The secondary lithium battery assembly process is to mix electrode materials, conductive agents and binders and coat them on the metal current collector. Because the metal current collector has a high density and does not contribute to the capacity, the energy density of the lithium battery is greatly reduced.
The solution to the problem of lithium-sulfur batteries is also mainly focused on the design of electrode materials and electrolyte optimization, and rarely prepares high-performance flexible lithium-sulfur battery electrode materials from structural design
