Abstract

Due to their high theoretical energy density, all solid state lithium sulfur batteries (LS-SSB) represent one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. Whilst high sulfur utilizations have been published for several cathode compositions and preparation methods in recent years, there is still a lack of clarity regarding the influence of the used carbon. Furthermore, LS-SSBs face challenges in up-scaling as the common preparation methods including high energy ball milling are time consuming, batch-wise and need high energy impact. In this study, high sulfur utilization >1600 mAh gS−1 and reversibility with 80 % of initial discharge capacity after 60 cycles is achieved, using a more time-efficient preparation method with drastically lowered energy impact by selecting a suitable carbon. Additionally, the influence of the carbon nanostructure on the electrochemical performance is discussed. This study provides guidance in selecting nanostructured carbon materials to enable cost-efficient, up-scalable preparation methods for LS-SSBs without compromising on the excellent electrochemical performance.
