Problems solved by technology

But such a hollow structure is like a drug capsule, which wraps the active sulfur on the hollow part of the sulfur and the porous spherical shell, and it is impossible to determine whether the sulfur is outside or inside the hollow sphere.
At the same time, due to the single cavity inside the material, the active material sulfur always exists in the form of blocks. However, the electrochemical process of the lithium-sulfur battery is always generated at the interface. Due to the uneven dispersion of sulfur, this will inevitably reduce the utilization of the active material. rate, it is not enough to disperse only by the thin carbon wall of the outer layer, which makes the conductivity of sulfur not greatly improved and seriously weakens the capacity of the battery

Abstract

The invention discloses a nitrogen-doped barbed carbon nanosphere / sulfur composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. The composite material comprises sulfur and nitrogen-dopedbarbed carbon nanospheres serving as a sulfur host material, wherein the carbon nanosphere is formed by combining a plurality of nitrogen-doped needle-like carbon fibers according to a spherical shape, the lengths of the carbon fibers are different, all the carbon fibers are shot from the spherical edge to the spherical center to form barbed distribution, gaps exist between the carbon fibers, andthe carbon fibers are gathered to the center to form a cavity. Furthermore, 60-75wt% of sulfur supported by the nitrogen-doped barbed carbon nanospheres is applied to a lithium-sulfur battery as a positive electrode. Sufficient space is provided for sulfur volume expansion in the charging and discharging process by utilizing the internal cavity and the carbon fiber gaps; the carbon fibers with different lengths in the spheres can well disperse sulfur and adsorb polysulfide, so that the sulfur utilization rate is increased, and the polysulfide loss is inhibited; and the loss of polysulfide ions can be more effectively inhibited by doping carbon in the outer layer of nitrogen atoms, thereby effectively prolonging the cycle life of the lithium-sulfur battery and improving the capacity of thelithium-sulfur battery.

Background technique [0002] Lithium-sulfur secondary batteries have shown great application advantages in future electrochemical energy storage devices. However, the insulation of the sulfur cathode, the Li generated during charging and discharging 2 S n The capacity is still lower than the theoretical value due to the easy dissolution, loss and volume expansion of sulfur in the electrolyte, and the poor rate performance and cycle stability limit the development and wide application of lithium-sulfur batteries.
