Background
With the development of portable electronic devices, power tools, and electric vehicles, there is an increasing demand for high specific energy flexible batteries. The lithium-sulfur battery takes elemental sulfur (theoretical specific capacity of 1675mAh/g) as a positive electrode and metal lithium as a negative electrode, the theoretical energy density is as high as 2600Wh/kg, which is far higher than that of the currently adopted lithium-ion battery, so the lithium-sulfur battery is widely concerned by scholars at home and abroad.
The lithium-sulfur battery can generate a series of polysulfides during the charging and discharging process, and the polysulfides are very soluble in electrolyte, so that the polysulfides can be diffused to a lithium cathode under the action of concentration gradient, namely a shuttle effect, and finally, irreversible inactivation of partial sulfur and reduction of the utilization rate of lithium are caused, so that the specific capacity and the cycling stability of the lithium-sulfur battery are reduced. In order to solve the problem of the shuttle effect of the sulfur electrode, researchers add different carbon matrixes (porous carbon, graphene/graphite oxide and carbon nanotubes) and the like to sulfur to form a sulfur/polymer composite material, so that the conductivity of sulfur is improved, and the shuttle effect is inhibited. However, the carbon nanotube film is high in preparation cost and difficult to produce in continuous batches, so that industrialization and low-cost production are difficult to realize, the carbon nanotube film is rarely applied to the electrode material of the lithium-sulfur battery at present, and the inventor finds that the carbon nanotube film is not good in compounding effect with the sulfur material, so that the application of the carbon nanotube film to the anode material of the lithium-sulfur battery is influenced.
In order to solve the problems, the invention prepares a modified carbon nanotube film/sulfur positive electrode material which is a flexible electrode material with a self-supporting structure, and the modified carbon nanotube film structure can be uniformly compounded with sulfur, can adsorb polysulfide and inhibit a shuttle effect, thereby improving the specific capacity and the cycling stability of the lithium-sulfur battery. The method can also realize low-cost continuous batch production.
