To suppress the shuttle effect, reduce the capacity fade, and improve coulombic efficiency of Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery, a polypyrrole hollow nanosphere (PHNS) with an ultra-thin wrinkled shell, which is expected to synergistically trap sulfur (S) with excellent elasticity and buffer capability, is fabricated by an in situ polymerization method. When S is encapsulated in PHNS (S@PHNS) with an optimum shell structure and used as the cathode, surprisingly, a specific capacity as high as 1500.5 mA h.g(-1) in the first discharge at a current rate of 0.1 C with high coulombic efficiency as well as excellent rate performance is achieved. Also, a reversible capacity as high as 536.5 mA h.g(-1) is obtained even at a high current rate of 5 C. Such a PHNS with the ultra-thin wrinkled shell has good conductivity, short ion and electron transport channel, and fast kinetics characteristics and especially during the charge-discharge cycles, it is conducive to the access of electrolyte and effective accommodation of the volume change. This PHNS should be a promising alternative cathode material for lithium-Sulfur batteries. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
