- Example 1 Preparation of positive electrode for lithium-sulfur secondary battery and lithium-sulfur secondary battery
- Sulfur and carbon nanotubes which are carbon materials, were mixed at a weight ratio of 75:25, and heat-treated at 155° C. for 30 minutes to prepare a sulfur-carbon composite.
- the positive electrode slurry was coated on an aluminum current collector to form a positive electrode active material layer, dried and rolled to prepare a positive electrode.
- the positive electrode uses the prepared positive electrode, lithium metal is used as the negative electrode, and the electrolyte solution uses a mixed solvent of 2-MF/DME (33:77, v/v) as a solvent and 3% by weight of LiNO 3
- a lithium-sulfur secondary battery in the form of a pouch cell was prepared using an electrolyte solution prepared with a composition containing (2-MF: 2-methylfuran, DME: dimethoxyethane) and a porous polyoltylene separator.
- a positive electrode and a lithium-sulfur secondary battery were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the content of niobium tungsten oxide, which is a metal oxide additive, was 3% by weight.
- a positive electrode and a lithium-sulfur secondary battery were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the content of niobium tungsten oxide, which is a metal oxide additive, was 1% by weight.
- a positive electrode and a lithium-sulfur secondary battery were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that niobium tungsten oxide was not used when manufacturing the positive electrode.
- the battery subjected to the discharge capacity evaluation experiment was discharged at 25° C. in CC (Constant Current) mode until 0.5C and 1.8V, and charged up to 2.5V at 0.2C constant current to evaluate lifespan performance.
- CC Constant Current
- Example 1 and Example 2 were found to be excellent in both discharge capacity and life characteristics.
- Example 3 the content of the metal oxide-based additive was further reduced compared to Examples 1 and 2, and the discharge capacity was similar, but it was found that it was impossible to drive until the life characteristics were measured.
- Comparative Example 1 did not contain the metal oxide-based additive, and showed similar results to Example 3.
- Example 1 is a graph showing the results of measuring the discharge capacity of lithium-sulfur secondary batteries including positive electrodes prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, respectively.
- Example 1 is 930 mAh/g and Comparative Example 1 is 255 mAh/g.
- Example 2 is a graph showing the results of measuring life characteristics of lithium-sulfur secondary batteries including positive electrodes prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, respectively.
- Example 1 was able to drive more than 300 cycles, but Comparative Example 1 was found to be unable to drive.
