▎ 摘  要

Lithium sulfide (Li2S) with a high theoretical specific capacity of 1166mAh g(-1) is a promising cathode material for next-generation batteries with high specific energy. However, low conductivity of Li2S and polysulfide dissolution during cycling are known to limit the rate performance and cycle life of these batteries. Here, we report on the Successful development and application of a nano composite cathode comprising graphene covered by Li2S nanoparticles and protected from undesirable interactions with electrolytes. We used a modification of our previously reported low cost, scalable, and high-throughput solution-based method to deposit Li2S on graphene. A dropwise infiltration allowed us to keep the size of the heterogeneously nucleated Li2S particles smaller and more uniform than what we previously achieved.
