摘要
A unique porous carbon was prepared using a polymer mixture of polyacrylonitrile and poly(methylmethacrylate). Sulfur was incorporated into this porous carbon via a new simple solution chemical deposition method. This novel porous carbon-sulfur composite showed high reversible capacity, good capacity retention and good rate capability when used as the cathode in rechargeable Li/S cells. The electrochemical results show that porous carbon-sulfur composite with 53.7 wt.% S maintains a stable discharge capacity of more than 740 mA h g(-1)-sulfur after 100 cycles. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
