Abstract:

In order to develop a high-performance and low-cost lithium-sulfur battery cathode sulfur storage material, the rabbit hair hollow carbon fiber (RC) with heteroatom doping was successfully prepared by using natural biomass fiber as the precursor. After pretreatment and carbonization, the sulfur/rabbit hair carbon fiber (S/RC) composite material is prepared by hot melting method. The effects of different carbonization temperatures on the morphology and structure of carbon fibers, the crystalline structure and conductivity of S/RC composites, the electrochemical performance of lithium-sulfur batteries and the stability of cyclic charge and discharge were discussed. The results show that when the pretreatment temperature is 300 ℃ and the carbonization temperature is 800 ℃, the morphology and structure of the prepared rabbit hair hollow carbon fiber are the most intact; the battery prepared with it has a first discharge specific capacity of 899 mA·h/g, and at 0.5C after 300 cycles, the discharge specific capacity became 598 mA·h/g, retaining 66.52% of the original specific capacity. Under high rate conditions, the battery still has a high discharge specific capacity, and the discharge specific capacities at 1C and 2C are 543.8 and 505.4 mA·h/g respectively.
