Abstract

The invention discloses a high-cycle-stability lithium-sulfur electrolyte. The electrolyte consists of an ether type organic solvent which comprises glycol dimethyl ether and 1, 3 dioxolame at the volume ratio of 1 to 1, 0.5-2M of lithium salt and 0.1-1mass% of carbon quantum dots. By adding carbon quantum dots to the electrolyte to be used as an additive, the carbon quantum dots can capture and dissolve lithium polysulfide to form a blocking layer, thereby preventing further dissolving out of lithium polysulfide, and enabling the battery to be super high in stability; and meanwhile, by virtueof the carbon quantum dots, subsequent lithium polysulfide dissolution and diffusion can be prevented, and a condition that lithium polysulfide reaches a metal lithium negative electrode to be subjected to a shuttle effect therewith can be avoided, thereby enabling the battery to be relatively high in coulombic efficiency and stable in cycle performance. The lithium-sulfur electrolyte is simple in process, low in cost and suitable for industrialization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery electrolyte materials, and relates to a lithium-sulfur battery electrolyte, in particular to a lithium-sulfur electrolyte with high cycle stability. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on intercalation reactions have reached the limit of their capacity density and cannot meet the demands of rapidly developing electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage devices, and advanced portable electronics. Lithium-sulfur batteries (Li-S) are considered to be promising candidates for next-generation electrochemical energy storage technologies due to their overwhelming advantages in energy density. In addition, the high natural abundance, cheapness, and environmental friendliness of sulfur make lithium-sulfur batteries more attractive and commercially competitive than current lithium-ion batteries. However, a series of problems still hinder the practical application of lithium-s...
