Abstract
The free-standing sulfur@N/P dual-doped porous carbon nanofiber (S@NPC) composite was synthesized via electrospinning, followed by calcination and sulfur vapor infiltration. Based on this cathode, potassium-sulfur batteries exhibit remarkable electrochemical performance, including excellent cycling stability (500 cycles at 0.4 A g−1s), high-rate capacity (691.7 mAh g−1s at 4.0 A g−1s), and superior low temperature cyclability (405.3 mAh g−1s after 100 cycles at −20 ℃ under 0.08 A g−1s). The superior performance can be attributed to the synergistic effects of space confinement and covalent bonding between sulfur and the NPC matrix, as well as good electrode/electrolyte compatibility.
采用静电纺丝法制备了独立的sulfur@N/P双掺杂多孔碳纳米纤维(S@NPC)复合材料,并进行了煅烧和硫蒸汽渗透。基于该阴极,钾硫电池表现出优异的电化学性能,包括优异的循环稳定性(在0.4 A g−1s下可循环500次)、高倍率容量(在4.0 A g−1s下可循环691.7 mAh g−1s)和优异的低温循环性能(在0.08 A g−1s下,在- 20℃下循环100次后可循环405.3 mAh g−1s)。这种优异的性能可归因于硫与NPC基质之间的空间约束和共价键的协同作用,以及良好的电极/电解质相容性。
