Self-assembled sulfur/reduced graphene oxide nanoribbon paper as a free-standing electrode for high performance lithium–sulfur batteries

Abstract

Flexible, interconnected sulfur/reduced graphene oxide nanoribbon paper (S/RGONRP) is synthesized through S²⁻ reduction and evaporation induced self-assembly processes. The in situ formed sulfur atoms chemically bonded with the surface of reduced graphene oxide nanoribbons and were physically trapped by the compact assembly, which make the hybrid a suitable cathode material for lithium–sulfur batteries.
