초록

Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (S-PAN) is one of the best materials for addressing some of the intrinsic drawbacks of lithium-sulfur batteries, such as the intrinsic insulating properties of sulfur and the shuttle phenomenon. Moreover, while S-PAN nanofiber composites are flexible, they still presents shortcomings, such as low rate capability, which is due to their semiconductor electrical conductivity. In this study, we prepared S-PAN webs with high electrical conductivity via electrospinning using conducting agents. Additionally, we analyzed the electrochemical properties of the S-PAN webs prepared using various conducting agents (acetylene black, Ketjen black, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes). The specific capacity of the S-PAN web prepared using acetylene black was 740 mAh g(-1) at the charge rate of 5 C. The excellent rate capability of S-PAN prepared using acetylene black was attributed to its low electrical resistance and low charge transfer resistance.
