Benzene-based polyorganodisulfide cathode materials for secondary lithium batteries

Poly(2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole)/sulfonated graphene composite as cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries

“…6a). This is because the DMcT and oligo-DMcT molecules which are produced during the reduction process can gradually dissolve in the organic electrolyte solution [6,40]. However, the PDMcT/SGS composite displays extraordinary stabilization during the electrochemical cycles (Fig.…”

“…During the past 20 years, the organodisulfide compounds have attracted considerable attention because of their potential use as the organic/polymeric cathode materials with high energy density, lightweight, and environmental friendliness in lithium batteries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Among those organodisulfide compounds, 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMcT) is one of the most promising materials since it possesses high theoretical specific capacity and high stability to temperature [9,10].…”

Formation of electroactive film on electrode surfaces by electro-oxidation of naphtho[1,8-cd][1,2]dithiole

“…Separately, it has been reported that compounds having -SH groups in their molecules are considered to serve as the energy storage material, whereby energy conversion occurs according to a reversible reaction for polymerization-depolymerization process (2R-SH M R-S-S-R) [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Our research interest regarding the electrochemical reactivity of the thioether (C-S-C) and dithioether (C-S-S-C) groups containing in organic compounds is addressed to the redox reaction of the dithiole derivatives [25].…”

Aniline‐Based Disulfide/Aniline Copolymers as a High Energy‐Storage Material

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] The energy exchange of these materials based on reversible polymerization-depolymerization process, accompaning the formation and cleavage of the disulfide bond (RS-SR $ 2RS À ). However, disulfide materials generally show redox reaction at room temperature, which may result in lower power density.…”

“…[7,8] In order to solve these problems, many approaches have been adopted. [2,6,[9][10][11][12][13][14] Among them, the most efficient approach is to link disulfide bonds to the side chain of some conducting polymers, [13,14] so that the conducting main-chain can act as the intramolecular electrocatalyst to improve the redox process rate of the SÀS bonds. Moreover, the reduction product after discharge is in fact a polymer, which may result in enhancement of the cycling stability.…”
