In 2022,Gao, Mengnan; Lan, Jiaqi; Fu, Yongzhu; Guo, Wei published an article in ChemSusChem. The title of the article was 《Biomass-Derived Lenthionine Enhanced by Radical Receptor for Rechargeable Lithium Battery》.Electric Literature of C12H10S2 The author mentioned the following in the article:
Organic compounds with tunable structures and high capacities are promising electrode materials for batteries. Cyclic organosulfide (i. e., lenthionine), as a natural material that can provide excellent ratio of effective atoms (S) and non-efficient atoms (C, H, and others), has a high theor. specific capacity of 853.6 mAh g-1. However, the multiphase transformation causes rapid capacity decay and hysteresis of charge/discharge voltage plateaus. To overcome these issues, a receptor, Ph disulfide (PDS), was introduced to truncate subsequent transformations directly from the source and change the reaction path, inhibit the capacity decay, and improve the cycling stability. After 500 cycles, the capacity retention was 81.1% with PDS, which was in sharp contrast to that (35.6%) of the control cell. This study helps to understand the electrochem. mechanism of biomass-derived lenthionine used as a high-capacity cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries, also offering a strategy to overcome its inherent issues. In addition to this study using 1,2-Diphenyldisulfane, there are many other studies that have used 1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7Electric Literature of C12H10S2) was used in this study.
1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7) belongs to ethers.Electric Literature of C12H10S2Although ethers resist hydrolysis, they are cleaved by hydrobromic acid and hydroiodic acid. Hydrogen chloride cleaves ethers only slowly.
