Problems solved by technology

However, since sulfur is a non-conductive substance, the conductivity is very poor, and carbon nanotubes have excellent conductivity due to the SP2 hybridization that produces a large number of delocalized π electrons.
The traditional aluminum foil and pole piece have a phenomenon of falling off during multiple cycles, which has a certain impact on the life of the battery

Abstract

A method for preparing a lithium-sulfur battery by taking a graphitized carbon nanotube flexible film as a current collector of the lithium-sulfur battery comprises the following steps of (1) taking sulfur as an active material, adding a conductive agent and a binding agent, taking N-methylpyrrolidone or deionized water as a solvent, and mixing paste; (2) coating the active material subjected to paste mixing already on the graphitized carbon nanotube flexible film, performing drying after coating, cutting the graphitized carbon nanotube flexible film to a product with the same size as a negative pole plate, and performing vacuum drying to obtain a positive pole plate; and (3) taking a lithium sheet as the negative pole plate, adding an electrolyte in a vacuum glove box, and assembling the battery according to a sequence of a negative electrode shell, the negative pole plate, a separator, the positive pole plate, foamed nickel and a positive electrode shell. The nanotube flexible film has a large amount of micropores with different sizes, the sulfur are very favorably deposited and absorbed into the micropores, thus, sulfur loading quantity in the positive pole plate and electrochemical reaction interface area are effectively increased, electron and ion conduction are enhanced, and the charge/discharge performance of the lithium-sulfur battery can be substantially improved.
