Concise, Single-Step Synthesis of Sulfur-Enriched Graphene: Immobilization of Molecular Clusters and Battery Applications.


ABSTRACT: The concise synthesis of sulfur-enriched graphene for battery applications is reported. The direct treatment of graphene oxide (GO) with the commercially available Lawesson's reagent produced sulfur-enriched-reduced GO (S-rGO). Various techniques, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), confirmed the occurrence of both sulfur functionalization and GO reduction. Also fabricated was a nanohybrid material by using S-rGO with polyoxometalate (POM) as a cathode-active material for a rechargeable battery. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that POM clusters were individually immobilized on the S-rGO surface. This battery, based on a POM/S-rGO complex, exhibited greater cycling stability for the charge-discharge process than a battery with nanohybrid materials positioned between the POM and nonenriched rGO. These results demonstrate that the use of sulfur-containing groups on a graphene surface can be extended to applications such as the catalysis of electrochemical reactions and electrodes in other battery systems.
