Electrosynthesis of 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphanyl) tetrasulfide via sulfur radical addition as cathode material for rechargeable lithium battery

Abstract

Organic electrodes are promising energy storage materials owing to their chemical diversity and electrochemical specificity. Here, the authors report synthesis of phosphorous containing organopolysulfide 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)tetrasulfide material showing excellent performance in a rechargeable Li battery.
