The commercialization of Lithium-sulfur batteries was limited by the polysulfide shuttle effect, and modifying the routine separator was an effective method to solve this problem. In this work, a novel hierarchically porous polypyrrole sphere (PPS) was successfully prepared by using silica as hard-templates. As-prepared PPS was slurry-coated on the separator, which could reduce the polarization phenomenon of the sulfur cathode, and efficiently immobilize polysulfides. As expected, high sulfur utilization was achieved by suppressing the shuttle effect. When tested in the lithium-sulfur battery, it exhibited a high capacity of 855 mAh·g−1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 C, and delivered a reversible capacity of 507 mAh·g−1 at 3 C, showing excellent electrochemical performance.

Abstract Due to the low conductivity of sulfur and the dissolution of polysulfides, the research and application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have encountered certain resistance. Increasing conductivity and introducing polarity into the sulfur host can effectively overcome these long-standing problems. Herein, We first prepared Co3W3C@ C@ CNTs / S material and used it in the cathode of lithium-sulfur batteries, The existence of carboxylated CNTs can form a conductive network, accelerate the transmission of electrons and improve the rate performance, and polar Co3W3C can form a strong interaction with polysulfide intermediates, effectively inhibiting its shuttle effect, improving the utilization of sulfur cathode electrodes, and improving the capacity and cycle stability. The Co3W3C@C@CNTs / S electrode material has a capacity of 1,093 mA h g-1 at a 0.1 A g− 1 and 482 mA h g-1 at 5 A g− 1. Even after 500 cycles of 2 A g− 1, the capacity of each cycle is only reduced by 0.08%. The excellent stability of this material can provide a new idea for the future development of lithium-sulfur batteries.

It is of great importance to develop high-quality carbon/sulfur cathode for lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, we report a facile strategy to embed sulfur into interconnected carbon nanoflake matrix forming integrated electrode. Interlinked carbon nanoflakes have dual roles not only as a highly conductive matrix to host sulfur, but also act as blocking barriers to suppress the shuttle effect of intermediate polysulfides. In the light of these positive characteristics, the obtained carbon nanoflake/S cathode exhibit good LSBs performances with high capacities (1117[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at 0.2[Formula: see text]C, and 741[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at 0.6[Formula: see text]C) and good high-rate cycling performance. Our synthetic method provides a novel way to construct enhanced carbon/sulfur cathode for LSBs.
