Petal-like Mn-doped α-Ni(OH)₂ nanosheets for high-performance Li-S cathode material.

ABSTRACT: Lithium-sulphur (Li-S) batteries are high-energy-density and cost-effective batteries. Herein, petal-like Ni_1-x Mn _x (OH)₂ (x ≈ 0.04) nanosheets were synthesised using a hydrothermal method and the electrical conductivity of Ni(OH)₂ was improved by applying the cathode functional materials in Li-S batteries. With up to 5 mg cm^-2 of S content in the cathode, the fabricated Ni_1-x Mn _x (OH)₂ electrode exhibited specific discharge capacities up to 1375 and 1150 mA h g^-1 at 0.2 and 0.5C, and retained this capacity at 813 and 714 mA h g^-1 after 200 cycles, respectively. Electrochemical measurement results show that Ni_1-x Mn _x</
