Persulfurated
Coronene: A New Generation of “Sulflower”
Posted on 2017-01-27 - 00:00
We report the first
synthesis of a persulfurated polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon (PAH) as a next-generation “sulflower.”
In this novel PAH, disulfide units establish an all-sulfur periphery
around a coronene core. The structure, electronic properties, and
redox behavior were investigated by microscopic, spectroscopic and
electrochemical methods and supported by density functional theory.
The sulfur-rich character of persulfurated coronene renders it a promising
cathode material for lithium–sulfur batteries, displaying a
high capacity of 520 mAh g–1 after 120 cycles at
0.6 C with a high-capacity retention of 90%.
