TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchical-porous Graphene/C/SiO 2 hollow microspheres were designed as scaffold to load sulfur, which could leave enough room for volume changes of sulfur during the charge-discharge process, and imprison the polysulfide via physical adsorption and chemical binding.

TL;DR: In this paper, 3D plum candy-like ZnCo2O4 microspheres with nanoscale building blocks were synthesized by an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technology and evaluated as anode materials for high-performance lithium ion batteries.

TL;DR: G-TiO2 @S holds great promise as a cathode material for Li-S batteries after the design and fabrication of dual-confined sulfur nanoparticles that were encapsulated inside hollow TiO2 spheres and graphene-wrapped skin provided an effective 3D conductive network to improve the electronic conductivity of the sulfur cathode.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchical mesopore carbon matrix was designed to tightly capture the nanosheets to prevent them from aggregating and offer a sufficient buffer zone for alleviating severe volume changes during discharging/charging process.

TL;DR: In this article, Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets embedded in three-dimensional (3D) vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays (VACNTs) have been fabricated via a simple nebulization-assisted hydrothermal method.
