Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, its practical application is limited due to the electrochemical inertness and poor cycle stability of sulfur.
The reduction of elemental sulfur to lithium sulfide is a multi-step reaction such as Figure 4 Shown, S 8 Restore to go through S 6 - , S 4 - , S 2 - , S 2- Intermediate state, from S 8 Direct conversion to lithium sulfide reaction has a higher energy barrier and the reaction is more difficult
Moreover, the intermediate product of the electrochemical reaction with sulfur is easily soluble in the electrolyte, causing a large loss of active substances, reducing the electrode capacity, increasing the viscosity of the electrolyte, decreasing the ion conductivity, and deteriorating the electrode performance.
The "Shuttle" effect of soluble polysulfides leads to a decrease in battery charge and discharge efficiency and low electrode capacity utilization, while insoluble lithium sulfide deposits and agglomerates on the electrode surface, destroying the electrode structure and reducing the cycle performance of the battery

Abstract

The invention relates to a cathode material used for a lithium sulfur battery, preparation and an application thereof. The cathode material employs one or more than two carbides or nitrides of metal elements from transition metal as a catalytic component and employs elementary sulfur as an active component. The catalytic component is supported on a carrier firstly and then the active component is supported on the carrier on which the catalytic component is supported. The content of the catalytic component is 2-30% of the total weight of the cathode material and the content of the sulfur is 30-80% of total weight of the cathode material, and the balanced is the carrier. The cathode material, when being used as a cathode in the lithium sulfur battery, has excellent selectivity on reduction of elementary sulfur and reduces reaction energy barrier required for sulfur reduction, reduces reaction polarization and increases discharge voltage platform. The cathode material is environment-friendly, is low in cost and is abundant in resources.
