The superior cycle and rate performance of a novel sulfur cathode by immobilizing sulfur into porous N-doped carbon microspheres.

چکیده
A novel composite of sulfur immobilized into porous N-doped carbon microspheres (NCMSs-S) was synthesized. This composite cathode for lithium-sulfur batteries delivers a high specific capacity and superior rate capability and cycle stability, with a reversible capacity of ~605 mA h g(-1) at 2 C and 85% capacity retention after 500 cycles.

Aspergillus flavus Conidia-derived Carbon/Sulfur Composite as a Cathode Material for High Performance Lithium–Sulfur Battery
A novel approach was developed to prepare porous carbon materials with an extremely high surface area of 2459.6 m(2)g(-1) by using Aspergillus flavus conidia as precursors. The porous carbon serves as a superior cathode material to anchor sulfur due to its uniform and tortuous morphology, enabling high capacity and good cycle lifetime in lithium sulfur-batteries. Under a current rate of 0.2 C, ...

In this work, a facile strategy to synthesize oxygen and nitrogen co-doped porous carbon (ONPC) is reported by one-step pyrolysis of waste coffee grounds. As-prepared ONPC possesses highly rich micro/mesopores as well as abundant oxygen and nitrogen co-doping, which is applied to sulfur hosts as lithium/sulfur batteries' appropriate cathodes. In battery testing, the sulfur/oxygen and nitrogen c...
متن کاملAn N-doped three dimensional flexible carbon/sulfur cathode for lithium sulfur battery design.
Nitrogen-doped flexible carbon foam was used to fabricate a lithium sulfur battery. The stability and rate performance of the battery were evaluated. The battery with carbon foam calcined at 800 °C displayed superior stability compared with other tested batteries. Battery performance was closely related to the foam structure and component. However, good rate performance was achieved with the fo...
متن کاملEncapsulation of S/SWNT with PANI Web for Enhanced Rate and Cycle Performance in Lithium Sulfur Batteries
Lithium-sulfur batteries show great potential to compete with lithium-ion batteries due to the fact that sulfur can deliver a high theoretical capacity of 1672 mAh/g and a high theoretical energy density of 2500 Wh/kg. But it has several problems to be solved in order to achieve high sulfur utilization with high Coulombic efficiency and long cycle life of Li-S batteries. These problems are main...
متن کاملSulfur-graphene nanostructured cathodes via ball-milling for high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries.
Although much progress has been made to develop high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), the reported physical or chemical routes to sulfur cathode materials are often multistep/complex and even involve environmentally hazardous reagents, and hence are infeasible for mass production. Here, we report a simple ball-milling technique to combine both the physical and chemical routes into a...
