Popis: Practical Li-sulfur batteries require the high sulfur loading cathode to meet the large-capacity power demand of electrical equipment. However, the sulfur content in cathode materials is usually unsatisfactory due to the excessive use of carbon for improving the conductivity. Traditional cathode fabrication strategies can hardly realize both high sulfur content and homogeneous sulfur distribution without aggregation. Herein, we designed a cathode material with ultrahigh sulfur content of 88%(mass fraction) by uniformly distributing the water dispersible sulfur nanoparticles on three-dimensionally conductive graphene framework. The water processable fabrication can maximize the homogeneous contact between sulfur nanoparticles and graphene, improving the utilization of the interconnected conductive surface. The obtained cathode material showed a capacity of 500 mA·h/g after 500 cycles at 2.0 A/g with an areal loading of 2 mg/cm2. This strategy provides possibility for the mass production of high-performance electrode materials for high-capacity Li-S battery.
