摘要
Lithium-sulfur （Li-S） batteries have drawn extensive attentions due to their high energy density, environmental friendliness and low cost. In this study, three-dimensional （3D） graphene/S hybrid （G/S） is prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal method together with redox reaction between S-based compound and graphene oxide （GO）. G/S has a three dimensional porous structure, where graphene is interconnected with each other forming a 3D conductive network. It demonstrates that the pore structure of G/S can be well controlled by optimizing the drying method of the 3D graphene-based materials. Freeze drying and evaporation-induced drying can induce different density and pore structure of G/S. Electrochemical tests illustrate that the resulting hybrid can deliver a specific capacity of 891 mAh·g^-1 and 575 mAh·g^-1 for the 1^st and 100^th cycle at a current density of 500 mAh·g^-1 .
