Problems solved by technology

[0005] 2) Excessive electrolyte addition seriously dilutes the theoretical energy density of lithium-sulfur batteries
The addition of too many conductive additives causes huge surface tension and volume shrinkage inside the electrode sheet during the solvent volatilization process, resulting in electrode cracking, which limits the preparation of high-capacity lithium-sulfur battery cathodes
Although the current three-dimensional current collector can increase the surface loading capacity of the lithium-sulfur battery electrode, the three-dimensional electrode will reduce the volumetric energy density of the lithium-sulfur battery due to its developed pore structure, and on the other hand, it will require more electrolysis. liquid to fill the pores to reduce the mass energy density of the battery

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of lithium batteries, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a positive electrode of a lithium-sulfur battery. Background technique [0002] With the development of portable electronic products, energy storage technology and new energy vehicles, modern society has put forward higher requirements for battery energy density. Lithium-ion batteries are limited by the intercalation / extraction reaction mechanism of electrode materials, and there is little room for improvement in their energy density. Moreover, the current lithium-ion battery cathode material is mainly composed of transition metal oxides, and its raw material cost has been high. It is imminent to develop a new generation of new battery systems with high energy density and low cost. Lithium-sulfur batteries have a high specific capacity (1672mAhg -1 ) and energy density (2600Wh kg -1 ), and the positive electrode material is rich in elemental...
