Abstract
The lithium/sulfur battery is a promising electrochemical system with high capacity, which is well-known to undergo a complex multistep reaction during the discharge process. Two types of electrolytes including poly (ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether (PEGDME)-based and 1.3 - dioxolane (DOL)/ dimethoxyethane (DME)-based electrolytes were investigated here. Furthermore, LiNO3 additive was introduced into the electrolyte in order to effectively eliminate the overcharge effect. The lithium sulfur battery with 1.0 M LiN(CF3SO2)2 in PEGME with 0.1 M LiNo3 shows highly stable reversible capacity of 624.8 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles and improved average coulombic efficiency of 98 percent.
