摘要
Sulfur coated mesoporous carbon (S-C) composites have been synthesized and physically characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Firstly, the electrochemical properties of the S-C composite cathode materials were tested in a conventional electrolyte consisting of 1 mol/L lithium bistrifluoromethanesulfonimidate in poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether to compare them with pure sulfur electrode. The capacity and cyclic stability of the S-C composite were improved. Then the S-C composites were tested in a novel ionic liquid electrolyte consisting of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and lithium bistrifluoromethanesulfonimidate. The capacity and cyclic stability of the S-C composite using the ionic liquid electrolyte were much better than for the sample tested in a conventional organic solvent electrolyte.
