摘要
To solve the main problems encountered in the lithium-sulfur battery research and practical application, a simple and effective hydrothermal reduction of graphene oxide was employed to encapsulate commercial carbon nanotube-sulfur (CNT-S) nanocomposite in this study, then an effective type of graphene coated CNT-S nanostructure was formed. The polysulphide anions diffusion phenomenon was effectively restrained by the graphene coating structure. The nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that elemental sulfur was uniformly distributed across the CNT, and a layer of graphene coated on the surface of CNT-S nanocomposite. The electrochemical test results showed that the graphene coating nanostructure obviously improved the lithium-sulfur battery performance of the CNT-S nanocomposite.
