Abstract:
Herein, we present a self-assembly strategy to prepare a cage-polymer coated sulfur sample. The sample embeds graphene as a new sulfur cathode. The cathode exhibits excellent electrochemical stability, maintaining a capacity of 546 mA h g-1 after 495 cycles at 1C, corresponding to an attenuation rate of 0.071% per cycle.

5.6K
Sulfides are the sulfur analog of ethers, just as thiols are the sulfur analog of alcohol. Like ethers, sulfides also consist of two hydrocarbon groups bonded to the central sulfur atom. Depending upon the type of groups present, sulfides can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical sulfides can be prepared via an SN2 reaction between 2 equivalents of an alkyl halide and one equivalent of sodium sulfide.

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...
