By virtue of the polar advantage of cobalt tetroxide, the prepared nanoparticles can have a strong affinity for lithium polysulfide and inhibit the shuttle effect. Through physical characterization and electrochemical test of the material, it is found that the oxidation temperature has a greater impact on the shape of the Co3O4/C structure and the particle size of the Co3O4/C material prepared by high temperature oxidation is about 50 nm, the average pore size of which is 17.44 nm. Multi-layered reticular structure is conducive to improving battery capacity and stability. Discharge specific capacity of lithium sulfur batteries assembled with Co3O4/C as positive matrix loaded with sulfur is 1 142.2 mAh·g-1 in the first cycle at a discharge rate of 0.2C. After cycled 300 times at the current density of 0.5C, the Coulombic efficiency remains above 98%, lithium sulfur batteries exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance.
