Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a metal oxide nanosheet-sulfur nanocomposite containing sulfur nanoparticles grown directly on each of exfoliated metal oxide nanosheets, and a lithium-sulfur battery including a sulfur cathode containing the metal oxide nanosheet-sulfur nanocomposite.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A metal oxide nanosheet-sulfur nanocomposite, comprising elemental sulfur nanoparticles chemically grown directly on each of exfoliated 2-dimensional metal oxide nanosheets, wherein the exfoliated metal oxide nanosheets comprise a nanosheet of titanium oxide selected from the group consisting of lepidocrocite, trititanate, tetratitanate, and pentatitanate. 2. The metal oxide nanosheet-sulfur nanocomposite of claim 1 , wherein the exfoliated metal oxide nanosheets further comprise a nanosheet of oxide of metal selected from the group consisting of Co, Cu, Zn, Mn, V, Mo, and combinations thereof. 3. The metal oxide nanosheet-sulfur nanocomposite of claim 1 , wherein the sulfur content is at least 80 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the metal oxide nanosheet-sulfur nanocomposite. 4. A lithium-sulfur battery, comprising a sulfur cathode comprising the metal oxide nanosheet-sulfur nanocomposite according to claim 1 . 5. The lithium-sulfur battery of claim 4 , wherein the sulfur content is at least 80 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the metal oxide nanosheet-sulfur nanocomposite. 6. The lithium-sulfur battery of claim 4 , wherein dissolution of lithium polysulfide in the sulfur cathode is suppressed by the metal oxide nanosheet-sulfur nanocomposite. 7. The lithium-sulfur battery of claim 4 , wherein the exfoliated metal oxide nanosheets further comprise a nanosheet of oxide of metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Zn, V, Mo, and combinations thereof.
