Novel Sulfur Host Composed of Cobalt and Porous Graphitic Carbon Derived from MOFs for the High-Performance Li–S Battery

Abstract: A composite consisting of cobalt and graphitic porous carbon (Co@GC-PC) is synthesized from bimetallic metal-organic frameworks and employed as the sulfur host for high-performance Li-S batteries. Because of the presence of a large surface area (724 m g) and an abundance of macro-/mesopores, the Co@GC-PC electrode is able to alleviate the debilitating effect originating from the volume expansion/contraction of sulfur species during the cycling process. Our in situ UV/vis analysis indicates that the existence o… Show more

“…In addition, high‐order lithium polysulfides (LiPSs, Li 2 S n , n =4, 6, or 8) formed during discharge are soluble in aprotic electrolytes. A portion of LiPSs shuttle to the Li‐metal anode and deposit there, resulting in rapid capacity decay …”

“…To achieve energy requirements, the development of new electrode materials with higher capacity is a prerequisite. However, S also presents a number of challenges that have to be overcome, such as its low electrical conductivity (5 × 10-30 S cm À 1 ), [15] the shuttle effect caused by easy dissolution of the intermediates (high-order polysulfide (PS) species) generated during discharge, [16][17][18][19][20] and the high volume expansion (80 %). [8] Among the many active cathode materials, elemental sulfur (S) is a highly promising candidate due to its extremely high theoretical capacity of 1672 mAh g À 1 , which is more than ten times greater than that of most commercial cathode materials.…”

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14] In addition to its high specific capacity, S presents other attractive advantages, including its low cost, nontoxicity, and great abundance in the earth's crust. However, S also presents a number of challenges that have to be overcome, such as its low electrical conductivity (5 × 10-30 S cm À 1 ), [15] the shuttle effect caused by easy dissolution of the intermediates (high-order polysulfide (PS) species) generated during discharge, [16][17][18][19][20] and the high volume expansion (80 %). [21] The shuttle effect, relating to the dissolution of high-order PS species that are produced as electrochemical intermediates in a polar electrolyte and the followed migration to the lithium anode due to the concentration gradient, results in a continual loss of the active S material from the cathode and thus the eventual decay of the capacity.…”
