Abstract Fast charge transfer and lithium-ion transport in the electrodes are necessary for high performance Li–S batteries. Herein, a N-doped carbon-coated intercalated-bentonite (Bent@C) with interlamellar ion path and 3D conductive network architecture is designed to improve the performance of Li–S batteries by expediting ion/electron transport in the cathode. The interlamellar ion pathways are constructed through inorganic/organic intercalation of bentonite. The 3D conductive networks consist of N-doped carbon, both in the interlayer and on the surface of the modified bentonite. Benefiting from the unique structure of the Bent@C, the S/Bent@C cathode exhibits a high initial capacity of 1,361 mA h g−1 at 0.2C and achieves a high reversible capacity of 618.1 m Ah g−1 at 2C after 500 cycles with a sulfur loading of 2 mg cm−2. Moreover, with a higher sulfur loading of 3.0 mg cm−2, the cathode still delivers a reversible capacity of 560.2 mA h g−1 at 0.1C after 100 cycles.

Ti3C2Tx, a new type of two-dimensional material, is a prospective anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for its low lithium-ion diffusion barrier, high conductivity and many other excellent properties. In this paper, multilayer Ti3C2Tx and delaminated Ti3C2Tx samples are prepared by etching Ti3AlC2 powder with HF and [Formula: see text], respectively. We explore the application of the two samples in LIBs, and analyze their electrochemical behavior and kinetic mechanism. At the current densities of 0.1[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text], the delaminated Ti3C2Tx electrode delivered higher capacities of 255[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] than multilayer Ti3C2Tx electrode (100[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]). Even after 1000 cycles, the specific capacity of the delaminated Ti3C2Tx is still up to 205[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at 1[Formula: see text]A[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]. This work proves the great potential of the delaminated Ti3C2Tx for lithium-ion storage.
