Problems solved by technology

[0003] According to prior art reports, the actual specific energy of lithium-sulfur batteries has reached 350Wh kg -1 ; But at this stage, lithium-sulfur batteries are facing a series of problems: there are mainly defects or problems in the following aspects: 1. Elemental sulfur and discharge product Li 2 S 2 / Li 2 S is an electronic and ion insulator, which increases the battery resistance and polarization; 2. The volume expansion of the positive electrode material during the discharge process causes the material structure to collapse and affects the cycle performance of the battery; The soluble polysulfides, due to the migration and reaction between the positive and negative electrodes due to diffusion, the "shuttle effect" of polysulfides occurs, resulting in the irreversible loss of active materials
For example, the Chinese patent (authorized announcement number: CN104701542B) discloses a preparation method of a composite positive electrode material for an all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery, comprising dispersing conductive polymer monomers and elemental sulfur in water, adding hydrochloric acid and ammonium persulfate at 0-10 The polymerization reaction is carried out at ℃ to obtain a compound formed by the conductive polymer wrapping the elemental sulfur. After high-temperature heat treatment, the conductive polymer / sulfur composite positive electrode material is obtained. Due to the direct addition of elemental sulfur, agglomeration is prone to occur, and the particle size of the sulfur particles cannot be adjusted. , a defect that leads to unstable properties of the material

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of a battery positive electrode material. In order to solve the problem that a traditional sulfur-carbon composite material is easy to agglomerate during the preparation process and the grain size is difficult to control, the preparation method ofthe lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material is provided.

Background technique [0002] Lithium-sulfur battery is a kind of lithium battery with sulfur element as the positive electrode of the battery, and the theoretical discharge specific capacity of elemental sulfur can reach 1675mAh / g, which is much higher than that of lithium-ion batteries widely used in commerce. Therefore, the sulfur cathode active material is currently the cathode material with the highest specific capacity, while lithium has the smallest relative atomic mass and the most negative standard electrode potential among metal elements. Therefore, lithium-sulfur batteries have high theoretical discharge voltage, high theoretical discharge specific capacity, and high theoretical specific energy, which are expected to meet the long-term development requirements of electric vehicl...
