Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries: High‐Energy, High‐Rate, Lithium–Sulfur Batteries: Synergetic Effect of Hollow TiO2‐Webbed Carbon Nanotubes and a Dual Functional Carbon‐Paper Interlayer (Adv. Energy Mater. 1/2016). Issue 1 (January 2016) - Hwang, Jang‐Yeon
Abstract : In article number 1501480, Ilias Belharouak, Arumugam Manthiram, Yang‐Kook Sun and co‐workers develop a high‐capacity, high‐rate sulfur cathode by encapsulating elemental sulfur into the pores of hollow‐mesoporous TiO2 particles that are connected via carbon nanotubes. Moreover, a dual functional carbon‐paper interlayer provides a medium for scavenging the lithium polysulfides and suppressing them from diffusing to the anode side. The Li‐S cells demonstrate the viability of high‐energy, high‐power Li‐S batteries.
