We find significant differences between degradation and healing at the surface or in the bulk for each of the different APbBr3 single crystals (A=CH3NH3+, methylammonium (MA); HC(NH2)2+, formamidinium (FA); and...
Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries (LSBs)
have high
energy densities and employ inexpensive materials. However, the poor
sulfur conductivity and rapid capacity fading hamper their applications.
We developed a free-standing composite cathode based on multi-walled
carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs),
whose fabrication follows a solution-based, scalable method. The two
CNT types create a synergic effect: SWCNTs result in high conductivity,
high surface area, and mechanical strength/flexibility; MWCNTs’
larger pores ensure facile ionic diffusion and trapping of lithium
polysulfides. The composite cathode exhibits a peak discharge capacity
of 1221 mAh/g, maintaining 876 mAh/g after 100 cycles at a 0.1C rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
