Free standing acetylene black mesh to capture dissolved polysulfide in lithium sulfur batteries.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein, we report a cheap and simple approach to solve the polysulfide dissolution problem in lithium sulfur batteries. It was interestingly revealed that a simple insertion of acetylene black mesh enabled us to obtain the capacity of 1491 mA h g(-1) at initial discharge and 1062 mA h g(-1) after 50 cycles.

Acetylene Black/Sulfur Composites Synthesized by a Solution Evaporation Concentration Crystallization Method and Their Electrochemical Properties for Li/S Batteries
A novel technique to prepare carbon/sulfur composites as cathode materials for Li/S batteries is proposed, which we call the ‘solution evaporation concentration crystallization’ method. Three composites with different S loadings were prepared, subject to two different solvent evaporation rates from acetylene black (AB)/sulfur in carbon disulfide solutions. X-ray diffraction, environmental scann...

DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201602923 suffer from safety problems arising from lithium anode and fast capacity fading due to the insulating nature of sulfur, the dissolution-induced polysulfide shuttle reaction, and large volume changes.[4–6] To address these issues, carbonaceous material[7,8] and conducting polymers[9] have been used to trap the high-order polysulfides in the cathodes; protective layers...

Due to adva...
متن کاملGraphene-wrapped sulfur particles as a rechargeable lithium-sulfur battery cathode material with high capacity and cycling stability.
We report the synthesis of a graphene-sulfur composite material by wrapping poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) coated submicrometer sulfur particles with mildly oxidized graphene oxide sheets decorated by carbon black nanoparticles. The PEG and graphene coating layers are important to accommodating volume expansion of the coated sulfur particles during discharge, trapping soluble polysulfide intermedi...
