Free standing acetylene black mesh to capture dissolved polysulfide in lithium sulfur batteries

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Dec 7;49(94):11107-9. doi: 10.1039/c3cc46358c.

Abstract

Herein, we report a cheap and simple approach to solve the polysulfide dissolution problem in lithium sulfur batteries. It was interestingly revealed that a simple insertion of acetylene black mesh enabled us to obtain the capacity of 1491 mA h g(-1) at initial discharge and 1062 mA h g(-1) after 50 cycles.
