Problems solved by technology

However, the S cathode of lithium-sulfur batteries severely restricts its practical application.
The defects of the S cathode are: (1) polysulfide Li 2 S x (2
However, although carbon materials can effectively improve the utilization rate of S single substance, physical adsorption alone cannot improve the cycle stability of the electrode to a satisfactory level. Modifications, such as doping N, compounding with various polar oxides, etc., are costly and complicated

Embodiment example 1

[0019] 1) Preparation of core-shell structure carbon / sulfur composite cathode materials

[0020] Add 1.4ml of ammonia water, 55ml of ethanol, 140ml of deionized water, 1.3g of resorcinol, and 1.3g of CTAB into a round bottom flask and stir for 30min. Then add 7.0ml TEOS and 2.0ml formaldehyde, stir at room temperature for 24h, then stand in an oil bath at 100°C for 24h. The reaction product was obtained by suction filtration, dried in a thermostat at 70°C for 12 hours, and the dried product was carbonized at 700°C for 3 hours under the protection of nitrogen, and the obtained product was further etched in 4mol / L NaOH at 80°C for 10 hours to remove SiO 2 ball. The porous hollow carbon spheres obtained after washing the etched product (removing NaOH) and suction-filtering and drying are carbon materials.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of lithium-sulfur batteries and discloses a simple method for effectively improving the cycling stability of a carbon-sulfur composite lithium-sulfur cathode. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a core-shell-structured carbon-sulfur composite cathode material; (2) preparing a carbon-sulfur composite cathode piece; and (3) preparing a solid electrolyte membrane (SEI)-coated carbon-sulfur composite electrode. The method has the beneficial effects that (1) polysulfides can be effectively limited in the cathode material by the stable solid electrolyte membrane formed on the surface of the carbon-sulfur composite electrode, so that the capacity influence caused by a shuttle effect can be effectively inhibited, and the cycling performance of the carbon-sulfur composite cathode can be remarkably improved; and (2) by virtue of high conductivity of a carbon material, the utilization rate and rate capability of sulfur are effectively improved, and the charging and discharging of the cathode under high current density are guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of lithium-sulfur batteries, and relates to a simple method for effectively improving the cycle stability of a carbon-sulfur composite lithium-sulfur positive electrode. Background technique [0002] In recent years, lithium-sulfur batteries have been widely used due to their extremely high theoretical capacity (2600Wh·kg -1 ) has received extensive attention and research. However, the S cathode of lithium-sulfur batteries severely restricts its practical application. The defects of the S cathode are: (1) the polysulfide Li 2 S x (2<x<8) dissolves and migrates in the electrolyte solution, which seriously damages the cycle stability of Li-S batteries; (2) the conductivity of sulfur element and low sulfide is very poor, which seriously reduces the utilization rate of S. [0003] At present, researchers have adopted various strategies to solve the above-mentioned problems, including designing new cathode materi...
