Figure 5. Characterizations of cycled S8@CB@NNH cathodes.

Figure 5

(ad) The ex situ s.e.m. monitoring the cathodic morphological changes on increased cyclic numbers. EDX probing towards the S8@CB@NNH cathode after 500 cycles: (e) a line-scan analysis and (f) EDX records on different particle zones. (g) High-resolution Ni 2p XPS spectrum and (h) a schematic showing working mechanisms of NNH in Li/S cathodes. Proper pathways for electron transfer in the discharge stage have also been displayed. Scale bars, 10 μm (a,b,d) and 100 nm (c).
