Mechanochemically Obtained MoSe2/Nanostructured Graphite Nanocomposites for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
摘要
As a result of mechanochemical processing of graphite (Gr), sulfur, and MoSe2 mixtures, nanocomposites nsGr/S, gMoSe2-nsGr and gMoSe2-nsGr/S have been prepared. Their structure and electrochemical performance in lithium-sulfur cells are investigated. It has been demonstrated that the nsGr/S forms a conductive porous matrix, but shows poor cycling stability due to the polysulfide shuttle effect. Coating the separator with a gMoSe2-nsGr layer leads to an initial specific capacity increasing up to ~400 mA·h/g and its maintaining up to ~50 % after 50 charge–discharge cycles. The best performance is observed when gMoSe2-nsGr is used both in the cathode and as a separator coating (~620 mA·h/g and ~80 % capacity retention after 50 cycles)
