A High Performance Sulfur/Carbon Xerogel Composite In Lithium Sulfur Battery Application, Chong Wang, Jia-Jia Chen, Qiu-Jie She, Qian Zhang, Yi-Ning Shi, Ming-Sen Zheng, Quan-Feng Dong

Journal of Electrochemistry

Sulfur/carbon composite was synthesized by the thermal method with the carbon xerogel as the conductive framework. The property of composite was characterd by XRD and SEM. It shown that the composite with the particle size below 10 μm had the same morphology as the carbon xerogel and the sulfur was absorbed in the pores in non-crystalline. The discharge capacity of the composites were 1311 mAh/g and 1107. 1 mAh/g at 0. 1C and 0. 2 C rates,respetively. And a retention capacity was about 800 mAh/g after 30 cylcyes.

Journal of Electrochemistry

The sulfur-super conductive carbon black composite was prepared as cathode material of lithium/sulfur battery.The composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).The sulfur composite shows a high discharge capacity and a good cycle performance in electrolyte mixed with 50% of room temperature ionic liquid.In particular,the discharge capacity of the composite was stabilized at 483.6 mAh/g after 50 cycles.
