Collectively, the highly porous nature of the graphene/sulfur cathodes, combined with the complete encapsulation of sulfur, engenders superior electrochemical performance. These characteristics make the graphene/sulfur composite cathodes highly promising for advanced energy storage applications, propelling the development of high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries. To further cement the promise of this approach, thicker cathodes, consisting of multiple layers have been assembled, by repeating the process used to manufacture the single-layered cathode after each ablation process, effectively mimicking additive manufacturing (3D printing), in order to achieve areal capacity market-end goals.
