Abstract:
The effective solution to current energy and environmental issues lies in the advancement of renewable energy conversion and storage technologies. In this work, an ultra-thin-walled hierarchical porous carbon (UHPC) with fluffy three-dimensional (3D) interconnected network structure was synthesized by pyrolysis of petroleum residue and aluminum isopropoxide. Then, a nitrogen-sulfur co-doped UHPC (NS-UHPC) was prepared and employed as a sulfur-loading host to achieve NS-UHPC@S composite after sulfur impregnation. After that, the electrochemical performances are explored utilizing the NS-UHPC@S composite as electrode active material for lithium-sulfur battery (LSB). The as-prepared NS-UHPC possesses a specific surface area of 1031.32 m2 g-1 and a pore volume of 0.82 cm3 g-1 with abundant active sites for absorption of polysulfides. Meanwhile, it maintains a fluffy 3D interconnected network structure with graphene-like sheets on its surface. The sulfur loading of the NSUHPC reaches as high as 79.58 wt% after sulfur impregnation. In addition, the resulting NS-UHPC@S composite exhibits an initial specific capacity of 1255.17 mAh g-1 at 0.1C, and after 700 cycles, the capacity decay rate per cycle is 0.0323 %, demonstrating its excellent cycling stability. Therefore, the NS-UHPC is a desirable sulfurloading host for high-performance LSB.
