Conversion of LiPSs Accelerated by Pt-Doped Biomass-Derived Hyphae Carbon Nanobelts as Self-Supporting Hosts for Long-Lifespan Li-S Batteries

Fengfeng Han et al.

Summary: The researchers prepared multifunctional self-supporting hyphae carbon nanobelt (HCNB) as hosts by carbonization of hyphae balls of Rhizopus in order to increase the sulfur loading of the cathode without sacrificing reaction kinetics. Trace platinum (Pt) nanoparticles were introduced into HCNBs (PtHCNBs) by ion-beam sputtering deposition, which regulated the local electronic states of heteroatoms in HCNBs. Electrochemical kinetics investigation combined with operando Raman measurements revealed the accelerated reaction mechanics of sulfur species. The as-prepared PtHCNB/MWNCT/S cathodes exhibited a stable capacity retention of 77% for 400 cycles at 0.5 C with a sulfur loading of 4.6 mg cm(-2), demonstrating a new strategy to prolong the cycle life of LSBs.

Summary: Designed using density functional theory calculations, single-atomic Co-B2N2 site-imbedded boron and nitrogen co-doped carbon nanotubes (SA-Co/BNC) were able to achieve high sulfur loading, fast kinetic, and long service period Li-S batteries.

The Development Trend of Graphene Derivatives

Chen Li et al.

Summary: Graphene, a star material with attractive properties, has witnessed rapid development in the past decade, giving rise to a family of derivatives including graphene oxides, reduced graphene oxides, graphene foam, vertical graphene, and other 3D graphene architectures. Although commercialization has been achieved for graphene oxides and reduced graphene oxides, they suffer from low electronic conductivity and defects. On the other hand, high-quality graphene foam and vertical graphene produced through CVD and PECVD have emerged, but their fabrication processes are complex and involve high temperature. Future development should focus on high-end 3D graphene derivatives with high electronic conductivity and few defects, requiring the development of new facile preparation methods.
