Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although lithium-sulfur batteries have the great advantage of high energy density, there are always some difficult problems in lithium-sulfur batteries: the poor conductivity of cathode materials, the shuttle effect of polysulfides, and the volume effect of sulfur cathodes
However, there are always some problems in these composite methods, such as the introduction of carbon and polymers will reduce the volumetric energy density of positive electrode materials.

Abstract

The invention provides a positive electrode material of a lithium-sulfur battery, a preparation method thereof and the lithium-sulfur battery. The positive electrode material of the lithium-sulfur battery is a composite material formed by cobaltates (magnesium cobaltate, nickel cobaltate, copper cobaltate and zinc cobaltate) and elemental sulfur. The content of the elemental sulfur is 60-90wt%. The cobaltates provided by the invention have extremely-strong adsorbing action on polysulfide, and have the effects of effectively inhibiting dissolving of lithium polysulfide in ether electrolyte, relieving a shuttling effect in charging and discharging processes of the battery, reducing the capacity attenuation of the lithium-sulfur battery and prolonging the service life of the battery. The lithium-sulfur battery provided by the invention has the beneficial effects that under 0.1C current, the initial discharging capacity is 955mAh / g(calculated according to the composite material), the capacity is 722mAh / g after 100-time circulation, and the capacity retention ratio is 75.6%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lithium-sulfur battery, in particular to a lithium-sulfur battery cathode material and a preparation method thereof, and a lithium-sulfur battery using the cathode material. Background technique [0002] Chemical power sources (batteries) can realize mutual conversion between chemical energy and electrical energy, among which Zn-MnO 2 The battery is a primary battery, and the lead-acid battery, nickel-cadmium battery and lithium-ion battery are secondary batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most widely used, but their ultimate mass energy density is 300 Wh / kg, which can no longer meet people's needs. It is imperative to develop a new high-energy-density secondary battery system. From an electrochemical point of view, the multi-electron reaction system is the basis for constructing high specific energy secondary batteries. Elemental sulfur is a light, abundant, and cheap substance that can theoretically achie...
