Carbyne Polysulfide as a Novel Cathode Material for Rechargeable Magnesium Batteries
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the formation of carbyne polysulfide by coheating carbon containing carbyne moieties and elemental sulfur. The product is proved to have a sp2 hybrid carbon skeleton with polysulfide attached on it. The electrochemical performance of carbyne polysulfide as a novel cathode material for rechargeable magnesium batteries is firstly investigated. The material exhibits a high discharge capacity of 327.7 mAh g(-1) at 3.9 mA g(-1). These studies show that carbyne polysulfide is a promising candidate as cathode material for rechargeable Mg batteries if the capacity retention can be significantly improved.

The synthesized samples are characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, impedance spectroscopy...
متن کاملHigh energy density rechargeable magnesium battery using earth-abundant and non-toxic elements
Rechargeable magnesium batteries are poised to be viable candidates for large-scale energy storage devices in smart grid communities and electric vehicles. However, the energy density of previously proposed rechargeable magnesium batteries is low, limited mainly by the cathode materials. Here, we present new design approaches for the cathode in order to realize a high-energy-density rechargeabl...
