Developing a Multifunctional Cathode for Photoassisted Lithium-Sulfur Battery.

ABSTRACT: Integration of solar cell and secondary battery cannot only promote solar energy application but also improve the electrochemical performance of battery. Lithium-sulfur battery (LSB) is an ideal candidate for photoassisted batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity. Unfortunately, the researches related the combination of solar energy and LSB are relatively lacking. Herein, a freestanding photoelectrode is developed for photoassisted lithium-sulfur battery (PALSB) by constructing a heterogeneous structured Au@N-TiO₂ on carbon cloths (Au@N-TiO₂/CC), which combines multiple advantages. The Au@N-TiO₂/CC photoelectrode can produce the photoelectrons to facilitate sulfur reduction during discharge process, while generating holes to accelerate sulfur evolut
