Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the lithium-sulfur battery system, since the sulfur-based positive electrode does not contain lithium, metal lithium needs to be used as the negative electrode to provide the lithium source. However, during the cycle, the metal lithium negative electrode is easy to generate lithium dendrites and pulverization on the surface, which not only poses a safety hazard. , and the consumption of electrolyte leads to premature failure of lithium-sulfur secondary batteries, which limits the application of lithium-sulfur batteries

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method for a graphene / lithium titanate coated lithium sulfide composite material. The preparation method comprises the following steps of (1) loading commercial lithium sulfide into a sealed ball milling tank; then putting the tank into a ball mill to be subjected to ball milling to obtain nanometer lithium sulfide; (2) adding tetrabutyl titanate to ethyl alcohol while stirring, and dissolving to form a tetrabutyl titanate ethyl alcohol solution; (3) enabling the nanometer lithium sulfide to be dispersed to an ethyl alcohol solution containing ammonium hydroxide, and adding the tetrabutyl titanate ethyl alcohol solution to a suspension liquid in a dropwise manner; (4) enabling an obtained precursor to be mixed with lithium carbonate powder, and adding the mixture to a muffle furnace under inert gas protection to perform a reaction to obtain the lithium titanate coated lithium sulfide; and (5) adding the lithium titanate coated lithium sulfide and graphene to tetrahydrofuran, and performing an ultrasonic reaction to obtain the graphene / lithium titanate coated lithium sulfide composite material. The lithium titanate structure is relatively stable in the charge-discharge process of the composite material, so that the loss of sulfur-based material can be effectively prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the synthesis of nanometer materials, in particular to a preparation method of a cathode material of a lithium-sulfur battery. Background technique [0002] A lithium-sulfur battery is a battery system in which metallic lithium is used as the negative electrode and elemental sulfur is used as the positive electrode. Lithium-sulfur batteries have two discharge platforms (about 2.4V and 2.1V), but their electrochemical reaction mechanism is relatively complicated. Lithium-sulfur batteries have the advantages of high specific energy (2600Wh / kg), high specific capacity (1675mAh / g), and low cost, and are considered to be a promising new generation of batteries. However, at present, there are problems such as low utilization of active materials, low cycle life and poor safety, which seriously restrict the development of lithium-sulfur batteries. The main reasons for the above problems are as follows: (1) elemental sulfur is an el...
