However, the elemental sulfur prepared by the above method is only distributed on the surface of the conductive additive, and cannot completely bind the elemental sulfur and the polysulfides generated during charging and discharging. The polysulfides lost on the surface of the conductive additive will still produce a "shuttle effect". Lithium-sulfur batteries The capacity and energy of the

Abstract

The invention relates to a carbon sphere / sulfur / reduced and oxidized graphene composite material for a lithium sulfur battery and a preparation method of the carbon sphere / sulfur / reduced and oxidizedgraphene composite material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, performing the heat treatment or solution soaking sulfur precipitation compounding for sulfur and carbon spheres, then mixing and stirring a sulfur / carbon sphere complex and a binder to form slurry, smearing the slurry onto an aluminum foil, drying the aluminum foil, then placing the aluminum foil in graphene oxide dispersion liquid, depositing and reducing the graphene oxide by virtue of electrochemical reduction, and thus obtaining the reduced graphene oxide-sealed sulfur / carbon sphere composite anodematerial. The carbon sphere prepared by the method of the invention has rich surface creases and inner porous structure and higher specific surface area (1000m<2> / g), and can load more sulfur, wherein the content of the solid sulfur reaches up to 80 percent. The reduced graphene oxide layer has higher conductivity and rich porous structure, facilitates the passing of lithium ions, can effectivelyinhibit the loss of sulfur and poly-sulfide, can improve the conductivity and cycling stability of the sulfur / carbon sphere composite material, and has a higher practical prospect.
