▎ 摘  要

Safety and the polysulfide shuttle reaction are two major challenges for liquid electrolyte lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Although use of solid-state electrolytes can overcome these two challenges, it also brings new challenges by increasing the interface resistance and stress/strain. In this work, the interface resistance and stress/strain of sulfur cathodes are significantly reduced by conformal coating approximate to 2 nm sulfur (S) onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO). An Li-S full cell consisting of an rGO@S-Li10GeP2S12-acetylene black (AB) composite cathode is evaluated. At 60 degrees C, the all-solid-state Li-S cell demonstrates a similar electrochemical performance as in liquid organic electrolyte, with high rate capacities of 1525.6, 1384.5, 1336.3, 903.2, 502.6, and 204.7 mA h g(-1) at 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 C, respectively. It can maintain a high and reversible capacity of 830 mA h g(-1) at 1.0 C for 750 cycles. The uniform distribution of the rGO@ S nanocomposite in the Li10GeP2S12-AB matrix generates uniform volume changes during lithiation/delithiation, significantly reducing the stress/strain, thus extending the cycle life. Minimization of the stress/strain of solid cells is the key for a long cycle life of all-solid-state Li-S batteries.
