Description

Yolk structure S @ Co3O4Positive electrode material of/C composite lithium-sulfur battery and preparation method thereof
Technical Field

Background
As lithium ion batteries are commercialized, disadvantages of the lithium ion batteries are also beginning to be exposed. So that attention has been focused on lithium sulfur batteries having higher specific capacities.
Compared with the traditional lithium ion anode material, the elemental sulfur is widely distributed, has low price, is very suitable for commerce, and is a high-specific-energy anode material with great prospect. Therefore, the lithium-sulfur battery has attracted great research enthusiasm of researchers, so that the lithium-sulfur battery is likely to become a substitute of the lithium-ion battery.
Although lithium-sulfur batteries are expected, their practical use is hampered by the existence of many scientific and technical problems that need to be solved. Firstly, sulfur has larger volume change in the charging and discharging process, and moreover, the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfide causes the cycle performance of the lithium sulfur battery to be poorer.
In order to relieve the volume change in the charging and discharging process, the sulfur is coated by the inner hollow of a hollow sphere structure material at present, wherein the volume change can be relieved to a certain extent by the inner space of a hollow sphere structure; the multilayer two-dimensional carbon material can be used for relieving, sulfur can be contained between layers of the two-dimensional carbon material, and meanwhile, the interlayer spacing plays a certain buffering role in the volume change process. Compared with the two modes, the two-dimensional carbon material has better conductivity due to the planar structure, but the sulfur is not coated between layers as much as a hollow sphere structure. Although the hollow sphere structure has a better coating effect on sulfur, the volume change of the hollow sphere structure is not as relieved as that of a two-dimensional material.
In order to inhibit the shuttling effect, sulfur and polysulfide can be physically and chemically adsorbed, but the adsorption effect of the sulfur and polysulfide by single physical adsorption or single chemical adsorption is limited, and the shuttling effect is inhibited by the existing material based on the physical adsorption and the chemical adsorption, so that the preparation process is complicated, and the improvement on the electrical performance of the product is limited.
