The effect of varying amounts (in the range 1-10 wt.%) of LiBOB (lithium bis(oxalato) borate) as additive in mixed liquid electrolyte on the electrochemical performance of lithium-sulfur batteries is investigated at room temperature. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of lithium anode with LiBOB has two semicircles, corresponding to charge transfer impedance and ion migration impedance, respectively. The lithium anode with LiBOB shows a higher ion migration impedance, which could reduce the ionic diffusion rate in the anode. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations shows that lithium anode with LiBOB has a smoother and denser surface morphology than the anode without LiBOB. The lithium-sulfur batteries with LiBOB shows the improvement of both the discharge capacity and cycle performance, a maximum discharge capacity of 1,191 mA h g(-1) is obtained with 4 wt.% LiBOB. The lithium-sulfur batteries with 4 wt.% LiBOB can maintain a reversible capacity of 756 mA h g(-1) after 50 cycles.
