Problems solved by technology

First of all, the insulation of elemental sulfur seriously affects electron conduction; second, during the charging and discharging process, a part of the intermediate product polysulfide lithium is very soluble in the electrolyte, shuttles back and forth between the positive and negative electrodes, and is prone to side reactions with the negative lithium. Deposited on the lithium sheet, resulting in a "shuttle effect", which reduces the cycle stability of the battery
Third, during the charging and discharging process, the ring-shaped S in the cathode material 8 Dissolved in the electrolyte solution to open the ring to become a long chain Li 2 S 6 , volume expansion will occur, and the expansion rate reaches 80%, which will seriously damage the structural stability of the positive electrode material and affect the specific capacity and stability of the battery.

Abstract

The invention discloses an open cage-like hierarchical-pore carbon-based positive electrode material of a lithium-sulfur battery and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises thefollowing steps: mixing silica sol, dopamine hydrochloride, diluted sulfuric acid and sodium dodecyl sulfate, dissolving an obtained mixture in water, successively carrying out deposition, carbonization, HF soaking and drying so as to form porous carbon with a cage-like structure, and then filling the porous carbon, used as a carrier, with sulfur so as to prepare the positive electrode material ofthe lithium-sulfur battery. A hierarchical pore structure obtained in the invention has high specific surface area and rich mesopores and micropores of mesoporous and microporous structures; the mesopores and the micropores are in connection and communication; the mesopores guarantee high-proportion sulfur filling and can alleviate the effect of volume expansion effect to a certain extent at thesame time; micropores located at the periphery of the mesopores or in the walls of the mesopores have strong adsorption capacity and can effectively inhibit the loss of polysulfide; in addition, nitrogen doping can reinforce binding energy between lithium polysulfide and a carbon structure and greatly reduces the loss of active substances; and the open-cage-like graded-pore carbon based lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material provided by the invention effectively improves the cycle performance of the battery, and has good application prospects.
