Abstract
Designing a sulfur host material that possesses rapid sulfur redox kinetics and effectively curtails the shuttle effect, while maintaining desirable gravimetric performance, represents a formidable hurdle in the development of practical lithium-sulfur batteries. Herein, 3D Co3O4/graphene aerogel composite was synthesized via a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. The composite combines the advantages of graphene aerogel's lightweight, high conductivity and Co3O4 nanowires' high catalytic activity and adsorption capacity. Hence the lithium-sulfur cell with prepared host material exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, with a reversible capacity of 1075 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C, a high rate capacity of 177 mAh g-1 at 2 C and a long-term capacity retention of 46% after 500 cycles.
