Abstract

The invention provides a positive electrode material for a lithium-sulfur battery, which comprises a matrix layer, a polymer layer covering the matrix layer, and a core layer located in the matrix layer. The present invention also provides a preparation method of the above lithium-sulfur battery cathode material. The lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode material provided by the present invention is coated with a conductive polymer layer on the outside of the base layer, filled with a core layer in the base layer, and utilizes the physical confinement of the one-dimensional channel of the base layer and the adsorption of chemical components, It solves the problems in the prior art that the shuttle effect of the intermediate product polysulfide ions generated during the charge and discharge process of the sulfur positive electrode of the lithium-sulfur battery will cause the battery capacity, cycle retention rate to be low, and the overall electrochemical performance to be low. The matrix layer is a halloysite layer, which can not only inhibit the shuttle of polysulfide ions from two aspects of physical confinement and chemical adsorption, halloysite is a cheap natural mineral, and using it as a matrix can also reduce the cost of the positive electrode, which is conducive to popularization and application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and in particular relates to a lithium-sulfur battery cathode material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and mobile electronic devices, batteries with higher energy density are urgently needed. In the new energy system, lithium-sulfur batteries have become one of the most promising secondary battery systems for the next generation due to their high theoretical specific energy (2600W h / kg), low cost of elemental sulfur, and environmental friendliness. [0003] Typical lithium-sulfur batteries generally use elemental sulfur as the positive electrode and metal lithium sheets as the negative electrode. However, there are three main problems in lithium-sulfur batteries: (1) elemental sulfur and the discharge product lithium sulfide are non-conductive or low-conductive substances, and the conductivity is very poo...
