▎ 摘  要

Sulfur nanoparticles wrapped with a conductive graphene framework was synthesized with a high sulfur loading through a scalable one-step process. The graphene-coated sulfur nanostructured composite, when used as cathode for lithium sulfur battery, shows a reversible capacity of 808 mAh g(-1) at a rate of 210 mA g(-1) and an average columbic efficiency of similar to 98.3% over 100 cycles. It is found that graphene oxide (GO) with a porous structure offers flexible confinement function that helps prevent the loss of active materials, thus extending the cycling life of the electrode. Moreover, reduced graphene oxide provides a conductive network surrounding the sulfur particles, which facilitates both electron transport and ion transportation. This novel one-step, all-solution-based process is scalable and provides a promising approach for potential industrial applications.
