Abstract Fast charge transfer and lithium-ion transport in the electrodes are necessary for high performance Li–S batteries. Herein, a N-doped carbon-coated intercalated-bentonite (Bent@C) with interlamellar ion path and 3D conductive network architecture is designed to improve the performance of Li–S batteries by expediting ion/electron transport in the cathode. The interlamellar ion pathways are constructed through inorganic/organic intercalation of bentonite. The 3D conductive networks consist of N-doped carbon, both in the interlayer and on the surface of the modified bentonite. Benefiting from the unique structure of the Bent@C, the S/Bent@C cathode exhibits a high initial capacity of 1,361 mA h g−1 at 0.2C and achieves a high reversible capacity of 618.1 m Ah g−1 at 2C after 500 cycles with a sulfur loading of 2 mg cm−2. Moreover, with a higher sulfur loading of 3.0 mg cm−2, the cathode still delivers a reversible capacity of 560.2 mA h g−1 at 0.1C after 100 cycles.

Lithium sulfur battery has become one of the promising rechargeable battery systems to replace the conventional lithium ion battery. Commonly, it uses carbon–sulfur composites as cathode materials. Biomass based carbons has an important role in enhancing its electrochemical characteristics due to the high conductivity and porous structures. Here, potato peel wastes have been utilized to prepare porous carbon lithium sulfur battery through hydrothermal carbonization followed by the chemical activation method using KOH. After sulfur loading, as prepared carbon–sulfur composite shows stable coulombic efficiencies of above 98% and a reversible specific capacity of 804 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at current density of 100 mA g−1. These excellent electrochemical properties can be attributed to the unique structure of PPWC showing mesoporous structure with large specific surface areas. These results show the potential application of potato peel waste based porous carbon as electrode’s materials for lithium sulfur battery.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The following dissertation investigates different aspects of lithium-sulfur batteries. Lithium-sulfur batteries have a higher theoretical capacity than current lithium-ion chemistries. First, a study on the lithium-metal electrode and the formation of dendrites investigates how flow impacts the failure from dendrites of these electrodes. Second, a study relying on charging to avoid the soluble intermediates generated through charge/discharge of sulfur-cathodes which are the primary cause of capacity fade in these systems. Third, sulfur is polymerized through radical polymerization with diene comonomers in order to reduce the solubility and mobility of the intermediates generated during cycling. Using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) theory, the surface area and pore volume can be observed before and after cycling demonstrating the amount of mobility the active material has during cycling. Finally, a study on the conduction phenomena in convection batteries is studied through a literature review and COMSOL simulation.
