Problems solved by technology

At present, the key issue affecting the application of lithium-sulfur batteries lies in the design of the positive electrode materials of lithium-sulfur batteries, which need to solve the following problems: ① The poor conductivity of elemental sulfur reduces the electrochemical utilization rate of active materials and affects the transmission of electrons in the positive electrode; ②There is a "shuttle effect" in the charging and discharging process, which will reduce the Coulombic efficiency of the battery and lead to the performance degradation of lithium-sulfur batteries; chemical properties
However, due to the lack of polar materials such as metal oxides, its chemical adsorption capacity for polysulfides is low, and the "shuttle effect" of polysulfides cannot be suppressed, resulting in poor cycle stability of the electrode material, showing only 40 stable charge and discharge cycles

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of new materials, and in particular relates to a hollow composite microsphere for lithium-sulfur battery cathode materials and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the emergence of environmental problems and the crisis of fossil fuels, people are paying more and more attention to finding clean and safe alternative energy sources. Although solar energy, wind energy, and water energy are clean and renewable, they are not as stable as fossil energy supplies, which greatly affects their promotion and application. If these energies can be stored by batteries during periods of excess supply of clean energy and released when the supply is insufficient, the stability of the supply of these energies will be greatly improved and the scope of use will be expanded. Especially with the rapid development of portable electronic products and hybrid electric vehicles, new requirements are put forward for t...
