Abstract

On page 6547 Do Kyung Kim, Jang Wook Choi and co-workers describe a highly aligned and carbon-encapsulated sulfur cathode synthesized with an AAO template that exhibits a high and long cycle life, and the best rate capability based on the complete encapsulation of sulfur (physical) and implementation of the monoclinic sulfur phase (chemical).

Keywords: anodic aluminum oxide; heat treatment; lithium-sulfur battery; monoclinic sulfur; polysulfide.
