Abstract

The sulfur-super conductive carbon black composite was prepared as cathode material of lithium/sulfur battery.The composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).The sulfur composite shows a high discharge capacity and a good cycle performance in electrolyte mixed with 50% of room temperature ionic liquid.In particular,the discharge capacity of the composite was stabilized at 483.6 mAh/g after 50 cycles.
