Tonoya, Takeshi published the artcileMicroporous activated carbon derived from azulmic acid precursor with high sulfur loading and its application to lithium-sulfur battery cathode, Computed Properties of 143-24-8, the main research area is azulmic acid activated carbon lithium sulfur battery.
We have previously reported that an effective activation method for azulmic acid carbon (AZC: AZC is a carbide of azulmic acid, a nitrogen-containing organic material) as a precursor can produce microporous activated carbon. By improving the activation method of AZC, we succeeded in producing an AZC-based activated carbon that can support a larger amount of sulfur than that of previously reported one while keeping its microporous property. We have found that the present AZC activated carbon has a BET sp. surface area of 2633 m2 g-1 and a pore volume of 1.286 cc g-1 and can contain up to 70 weight% sulfur when an optimum alk. activator and activation temperature are used. The cathode of this activated carbon can be stably charged and discharged in a lithium-sulfur battery with a glyme-based electrolyte. The present highly sulfur-filled microporous AZC is a promising sulfur host material for lithium sulfur batteries.
