ABSTRACT

With the deepening of energy structure transformation, new energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind power are important means to achieve carbon neutrality in the future. In order to solve the instability problem of their use, research on electrochemical energy storage systems has become a key aspect. In addition, lithium-ion batteries play an important role in electronic devices, but their lower theoretical specific capacity makes it difficult to meet the needs of large electronic devices. Lithium-sulfur batteries have a theoretical specific energy density (2600 Wh•kg^-1) and theoretical specific capacity (1675 mAh•g^-1) several times higher than lithium-ion batteries, and they have abundant elemental sulfur reserves and low prices. Therefore, lithium-sulfur batteries are very promising energy storage devices. The positive electrode material has an important impact on the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries and has been widely studied. This article investigates the effect of different sulfur cathode thicknesses on the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries.
