Energy Storage: A Dual-Function Na₂SO₄ Template Directed Formation of Cathode Materials with a High Content of Sulfur Nanodots for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries (Small 27/2017)

In article 1700358, Wei Lv, Quan-Hong Yang, and co-workers, develop a dual-function sulfate templating method to produce a sulfur nanodot cathode with high sulfur loading for lithium-sulfur batteries towards excellent rate and cycling performance, where sulfate serves as both the sulfur precursor and a template for carbon-based conducting network formation.
