제목 Fabrication of highly-packed, crack-free sulfur electrodes by scaffold-supported drying for ultrahigh-sulfur-loaded lithium sulfur batteries
초록 Despite notable progresses of lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries during the past decade, achieving high performances with high loading sulfur cathodes remains a key challenge for the commercialization of practical Li-S batteries. This paper presents a novel method to fabricate a crack-free sulfur electrode of an ultrahigh sulfur loading (16 mg cm-2) and a high sulfur content (65 %). Introducing a porous scaffold on the top of the cast of sulfur slurry prevented the crack formation during the drying of the cast. The scaffold-supported sulfur cathode delivers a high capacity of 10.3 mAh g-1 at the 80th cycle, demonstrating the crack-free structure renders uniform redox reaction at such high sulfur loading. The highly-packed feature of the sulfur cathode is advantageous in reducing the amount of electrolyte which additionally contributes to high energy density. Therefore, the  scaffold-supported fabrication provides an effective route to design a practically viable, energy-dense Li-S battery.
