Graphene/Sulfur Hybrid Nanosheets from a Space‐Confined “Sauna” Reaction for High‐Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Abstract

A space-confined "sauna" reaction system is introduced for the simultaneous reduction and functionalization of graphene oxide to unique graphene-sulfur hybrid nanosheets, in which thin layers of amorphous sulfur are tightly anchored on the graphene sheet via strong chemical bonding. Upon being used as the cathode material in lithium-sulfur batteries, the as-synthesized composite shows an excellent electrochemical performance.
