研究目的
To overcome the challenge of polysulfide shuttling in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries by employing a free-standing laser scribed graphene (LSG) interlayer to suppress the shuttling effect and enhance the battery's performance.
研究成果
The free-standing LSG interlayer effectively suppresses polysulfide shuttling in Li-S batteries, achieving a high specific capacity of 1160 mAh g-1 with excellent cycling stability (80.4% capacity retention after 100 cycles). The hierarchical three-dimensional porous structure of LSG plays a crucial role in enhancing the battery's performance by physically and chemically confining polysulfides.
研究不足
The study focuses on the suppression of polysulfide shuttling but does not extensively address other challenges in Li-S batteries such as lithium dendrite formation or electrolyte decomposition. The scalability of the LSG interlayer production process, while mentioned as straightforward, may require further optimization for industrial-scale applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A free-standing LSG interlayer was constructed using a simple and scalable route involving laser scribing of polyimide films under ambient conditions. The LSG interlayer was designed to have hierarchical three-dimensional pores to suppress polysulfide shuttling.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Commercial Kapton polyimide films were used as the starting material for LSG synthesis. The sulfur cathode was prepared with a sulfur content of ~2 mg cm-
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Universal X-660 laser cutter platform, Bruker diffractometer, Horiba LabRAM HR spectrometer, Kratos AXIS Ultra DVD, SEM (Merlin, Carl Zeiss microscope), HRTEM (FEI Titan 80–300 kV microscope), 2032 coin cells, GC-50 glass fiber separator, LiTFSI, DOL, DME, LiNO
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
LSG was synthesized by laser scribing polyimide films, then mixed with conductive acetylene black and PTFE to form a free-standing film. The film was intercalated between the cathode and separator in Li-S batteries. Electrochemical performance was evaluated through cycling tests, CV, and EIS measurements.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, SEM, TEM, N2 adsorption-desorption analysis, electrochemical performance tests including cycling stability, rate capability, CV, and EIS.
