Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, none of the above methods has focused on the influence of the pore structure on the electrochemical performance of the battery.
Activated carbon obtained from different raw materials will have different pore structures, some of which are not suitable for efficient electrochemical reactions in batteries. One of the important reasons is that sulfur is absorbed into activated carbon to become a composite material, and the first thing to enter is activated carbon. macropores, and then gradually diffuse from macropores to smaller and developed mesopores and micropores. If sulfur does not fully contact the electrolyte in the macropores, the problem of low utilization of sulfur will occur, which is not conducive to further development.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of biomass activated carbon with a flat, narrow and long pore structure, and the application of the biomass activated carbon in lithium-sulfur battery cathode materials, belonging to the field of lithium-sulfur batteries. Background technique [0002] In today's world, the development of electric vehicles is in the ascendant, and the bottleneck of its development lies in power batteries. The current lithium-ion battery, the specific capacity of the positive electrode material can reach up to 200mAh / g, and the battery energy density can reach up to about 250Wh / kg, which is far from meeting the further development of electric vehicles. Lithium-sulfur battery is a new generation of battery system. The specific capacity of sulfur is as high as 1675mAh / g. With lithium sheet as the negative electrode, the energy density of the battery is as high as 2600Wh / kg. It is an ideal power battery system. In addition, sul...
