Abstract

A template-directed synthesis of sulfur-carbon nanotubes and their use to form a membrane that is binder-free, highly-conductive and flexible was reported. This nanostructured membrane is used as a self-supporting cathode without metal current-collectors for Li–S batteries. The membrane cathode has a high electrical conductivity and renders a long life of sulfur over 100 charge/discharge cycles. High discharge capacity of sulfur was attained at 712 mAh g sulfur −1 (23 wt% S) and 520 mAh g sulfur −1 (50 wt% S) at a high current density (6 A g sulfur −1 ). The overall capacity of the flexible cathode correspondingly reaches 163 mAh g−1 (23 wt% S) and 260 mAh g−1 (50 wt% S). These results demonstrate the great potential of this nanostructured flexible membrane as a cathode for Li–S batteries with fast charge/discharge performance and long life.
