Description

Lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode slurry, homogenizing method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, relates to a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode slurry, and particularly relates to a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode slurry, a homogenizing method and application thereof.
Background
The lithium-sulfur battery has the advantages of high theoretical energy density, abundant and easily available raw materials and low price, can be widely applied to the fields of aerospace, new energy automobiles and the like, and is one of the main development directions of next-generation high-specific-energy batteries. The lithium-sulfur battery is a novel lithium battery which is recognized at present and can reach the energy density of more than 400 Wh/kg. However, there are still many obstacles to its commercialization, such as the polysulfide shuttling effect and the negative lithium dendrite problem.
From the viewpoint of improving the energy density of the lithium-sulfur battery, the core problem is the improvement of the positive electrode surface capacity, and the positive electrode surface capacity is mainly related to the specific capacity of the positive electrode material and the surface density of the positive electrode pole piece. Therefore, the positive electrode material with high specific capacity is prepared into the positive plate of the high-capacity lithium-sulfur battery, and the utilization rate of the active substances is ensured, so that the design and the manufacture of the high-specific-energy lithium-sulfur battery are more than half completed.
At present, the research on the high-specific-energy lithium-sulfur battery still remains in the development of the high-specific-capacity positive electrode material, and the preparation method of the positive electrode plate mainly comprises the steps of simply mixing and stirring the active substance, the conductive agent and the binder and then coating the mixture. The method is difficult to ensure the full dispersion of the active substance, the conductive agent and the binding agent, and the agglomeration of the active substance and the conductive agent often occurs, so that the coated positive pole piece with high surface density is obviously cracked. Technically, the continuous production of the high-specific-energy lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode is difficult to realize.
CN105098143A discloses a flexible high-sulfur load self-repairing positive electrode structure of a lithium-sulfur battery and a preparation method thereof. The positive electrode structure of the lithium-sulfur battery is composed of graphene/high-molecular polymer flexible foam and a carbon/sulfur active material layer, wherein the active material is sulfur, and the graphene/high-molecular polymer flexible foam provides strength and a self-repairing function. The method has the characteristics that the multi-component integrated design of the lithium-sulfur battery is realized, the sulfur content is improved while the high electrochemical performance is ensured, the high active material surface density of the battery is realized, and the obtained lithium-sulfur battery has the advantages of high specific capacity and high specific energy density and also has the characteristics of flexibility and self-repairing. However, the preparation difficulty of the flexible foam mentioned by the method is high, and the sulfur infiltration technology is difficult to ensure the uniformity. The method has complex process and is difficult to realize batch production.
CN109346678A provides a preparation method of a high-sulfur-supported lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode, comprising the following steps: adding a carbon material and sulfur into water, and uniformly mixing to obtain carbon-sulfur mixed slurry; adding the carbon-sulfur mixed slurry into a sand mill for nano ball milling, drying and crushing, and then heating and melting to obtain a carbon-sulfur composite positive electrode material; adding a conductive agent, an adhesive and a carbon-sulfur composite positive electrode material into water, uniformly mixing to obtain a lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode slurry precursor, and then adding the positive electrode slurry precursor into a sand mill for nano ball milling to obtain lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode slurry; and uniformly coating the lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode slurry on an aluminum foil, and drying to obtain the high-sulfur load lithium-sulfur battery positive electrode. The method has the advantages of low raw material cost, simple process and controllable process, and is beneficial to preparing the lithium-sulfur battery anode with high sulfur loading capacity. However, the problem of uneven dispersion still exists during the mixing process.
The existing lithium-sulfur battery anode slurry has the characteristics of uneven dispersion and the like, so that the problem that how to ensure the uniform dispersion of the lithium-sulfur battery anode material is required to be solved at present is solved on the premise that the lithium-sulfur battery anode slurry is simple in production process, can be produced in batches, is low in cost and the like.
