Abstract

Sulfur/carbon composite was synthesized by the thermal method with the carbon xerogel as the conductive framework. The property of composite was characterd by XRD and SEM. It shown that the composite with the particle size below 10 μm had the same morphology as the carbon xerogel and the sulfur was absorbed in the pores in non-crystalline. The discharge capacity of the composites were 1311 mAh/g and 1107. 1 mAh/g at 0. 1C and 0. 2 C rates,respetively. And a retention capacity was about 800 mAh/g after 30 cylcyes.
