Problems solved by technology

[0004] First, the electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity of elemental sulfur are poor, and the conductivity of sulfur materials at room temperature is extremely low (the conductivity is only 5.0×10 -30 S cm -1 ), the final product of the reaction Li 2 S 2 and Li 2 S is also an electronic insulator, which is not conducive to the high rate performance of the battery;
[0005] Second, lithium polysulfide, the intermediate discharge product of lithium-sulfur batteries, will dissolve into the organic electrolyte, increasing the viscosity of the electrolyte and reducing the ion conductivity.
Polysulfide ions can migrate between the positive and negative electrodes, resulting in the loss of active materials and a decrease in coulombic efficiency. In addition, due to the insulation of the deposited reaction products, further lead to battery performance degradation
[0006] Third, the final discharge product of lithium-sulfur batteries, Li 2 S n (n=1-2) Electronic insulation and insoluble in the e

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium-sulfur batteries, in particular to a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium-sulfur battery comprising the lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material. Background technique [0002] Lithium-sulfur battery is a secondary battery with metallic lithium as the negative electrode and elemental sulfur as the positive electrode. During discharge, the negative electrode reacts as lithium loses electrons and becomes lithium ions, and the positive electrode reacts as sulfur reacts with lithium ions and electrons to form sulfide. The potential difference of the negative electrode reaction is the discharge voltage provided by the lithium-sulfur battery. The specific energy of lithium-sulfur batteries can theoretically reach 2600Wh / Kg, which is much larger than any commercial secondary batteries used at this stage. In addition to the advantages of...
