COMPOSITIONS, ELECTRODES AND METHODS OF MAKING

摘要

There is a composition including polymeric binder and carbon-sulfur (C-S) composite. The C-S composite includes about 5 to 95 wt.% sulfur compound. The C-S composite also includes templated carbon having a surface area of about 50 to 4,000 square meters per gram templated carbon and a pore volume of about 0.5 to 6 cubic centimeters per gram templated carbon. The templated carbon has a carbon microstructure that is complementary with an inorganic microstructure, characterized by a three-dimensional framework, of an inorganic template used in a process for making the templated carbon. There is a method for making the composition. There is also an electrode incorporating the composition, as well as methods for making the electrode. There are also methods relating to using the composition and the electrode.
