While its electrode potential is the lowest among all metals, only-3.04V (relative to standard hydrogen electrodes). These characteristics determine that lithium metal has a high energy density when used as a negative electrode of a battery, so that lithium metal batteries are becoming an important research point in the field of energy storage in recent years. In order to realize the practical application of the metal lithium battery, it is critical to find and research and develop a positive electrode material with high capacity and a proper charge and discharge platform. The lithium-sulfur battery is considered as a next-generation secondary battery with great development potential and application prospect because the sulfur anode has very high theoretical lithium storage specific capacity (1600 mA h g -1), and the characteristics of abundant sulfur storage, low price, environmental friendliness and the like. However, the poor conductivity of the active S and the discharge end products, the low utilization rate of active materials, rapid capacity decay and electrode structural damage caused by the dissolution and shuttling of soluble polysulfides, the volume expansion/contraction of electrodes during charge and discharge, and the like, seriously hamper the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries.

On the other hand, the original method has the problems of high cost, complex electrode process construction and the like, and the industrialization of the lithium-sulfur battery is difficult to realize.
In view of this, the present invention has been made.

Comparative example 1: and comparing the pure carbon nanofiber membrane with the titanic acid-carbon nanofiber membrane composite membrane.
