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.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are very promising next-generation energy storage batteries due to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, the shuttle effect of lithium-sulfur batteries is one of the important bottlenecks that limits its rapid development. Herein, physical and chemical dual adsorption of lithium polysulfides are achieved by designing a novel framework structure consisting of MnO2, reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The framework-structure composite of MnO2/rGO/CNTs is prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The framework exhibits a uniform and abundant mesoporous structure (concentrating in ~12 nm). MnO2 is an α phase structure and the α-MnO2 also has a significant effect on the adsorption of lithium polysulfides. The rGO and CNTs provide a good physical adsorption interaction and good electronic conductivity for the dissolved polysulfides. As a result, the MnO2/rGO/CNTs/S cathode delivered a high initial capacity of 1201 mAh g−1 at 0.2 C. The average capacities were 916 mAh g−1, 736 mAh g−1, and 547 mAh g−1 at the current densities of 0.5 C, 1 C, and 2 C, respectively. In addition, when tested at 0.5 C, the MnO2/rGO/CNTs/S exhibited a high initial capacity of 1010 mAh g−1 and achieved 780 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles, with a low capacity decay rate of 0.11% per cycle. This framework-structure composite provides a simple way to improve the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries.

Abstract Boosting the utilization efficiency of sulfur electrodes and suppressing the “shuttle effect” of intermediate polysulfides remain the critical challenge for high-performance lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs). However, most of reported sulfur electrodes are not competent to realize the fast conversion of polysulfides into insoluble lithium sulfides when applied with high sulfur loading, as well as to mitigate the more serious shuttle effect of polysulfides, especially when worked at an elevated temperature. Herein, we reported a unique structural engineering strategy of crafting a unique hierarchical multifunctional electrode architecture constructed by rooting MOF-derived CoS2/carbon nanoleaf arrays (CoS2–CNA) into a nitrogen-rich 3D conductive scaffold (CTNF@CoS2–CNA) for LSBs. An accelerated electrocatalytic effect and improved polysulfide redox kinetics arising from CoS2–CNA were investigated. Besides, the strong capillarity effect and chemisorption of CTNF@CoS2–CNA to polysulfides enable high loading and efficient utilization of sulfur, thus leading to high-performance LIBs performed not only at room temperature but also up to an elevated temperature (55 °C). Even with the ultrahigh sulfur loading of 7.19 mg cm−2, the CTNF@CoS2–CNA/S cathode still exhibits high rate capacity at 55 °C.
