The invention relates to a
composite material of multi-stage pore carbon and
cobalt sulfide, a preparation method thereof, a
lithium sulfide battery
cathode material containing the composite materialand a
lithium sulfide battery, and belongs to the field of
energy storage batteries. The preparation method of the
composite material comprises the follow steps: (1) dispersing multi-stage pore carbonin a strong acid solution, connecting a carboxyl group with the multi-stage pore carbon or dispersing the multi-stage pore carbon in the strong alkali solution, connecting a hydroxyl group with the multi-stage pore carbon, obtaining functionalized multi-stage pore carbon, cleaning the functionalized multi-stage pore carbon to neutrality, and
drying the functionalized multi-stage pore carbon; wherein the multi-stage
porous carbon has micropores, mesopores and macropores. The specific surface area of multi-stage
porous carbon is 1981 - 2400m2 / g, and the total pore volume is 1.72 - 2.24 cm3 / g; and (2) dispersing the dried functionalized multi-stage
porous carbon obtained in the step (1) in water or an
organic solvent miscible with water, ultrasonicating, adding a
cobalt source and a
sulfur source, and carrying out
hydrothermal reaction to obtain a multi-stage porous carbon and
cobalt sulfide
composite material. The composite material of the invention is applied to a
lithium sulfur battery and has excellent electrochemical performance.
