Decoration of sulfur with porous metal nanostructures: an alternative strategy for improving the cyclability of sulfur cathode materials for advanced lithium–sulfur batteries

Abstract

Porous Pt nanostructure decorated sulfur microparticles (Pt@S) are fabricated using sulfur as the template. The Pt@S electrode shows a higher volumetric specific capacity of 520 mA h cm−3 and improved cyclability with only 15% capacity fading after 80 cycles at 0.1 C (167.5 mA g−1).
