采用优化合成的高比表面积和多微孔结构的活性炭,通过加热的方法使单质硫升华并沉积到活性炭微孔中,得到锂硫电池正极用硫碳复合材料.通过X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜和比表面积表征复合材料的结构、表面形貌和比表面特性.循环伏安测试表明,复合材料在2.05V和2.35V时存在两个还原峰,在2.4V时存在一个氧化峰.充放电循环实验表明,单质硫在100mA·g^-1的电流密度下首次放电比容量高达1352.5mA·h·g^-1,硫的利用率达到了80.9%.循环40周后比容量还保持在800.7mA·h·g^-1,表现出良好的循环稳定性.
Sulfur-carbon composites as cathode for lithium-sulfur battery have been synthesized by heating a mixture of elemental sulfur and activated carbon with high specific surface area and microporous structure. The physical structure performance is characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and specific surface area measurements. It show two reduction peaks at 2.05 V and 2.35 V, one oxidation peak at 2.4 V during cyclic vohammogram test. The charge-discharge experiment indicates that its initial discharge specific capacity is 1 352.5mA. h· g^-1 at a current density of 100 mA · g^-1. The utilization of electrochemically active sulfur is about 80.9%. The specific capacity still keep as high as 800.7 mA · h · g ^-1 after 40 cycles which show good cycle stability.
