ABSTRACTLithium sulfide (Li2S) is one of the most attractive cathode materials for high energy density lithium batteries as it has a high theoretical capacity of 1166 mA h g-1. However, Li2S suffers from poor rate performance and short cycle life due to its insulating nature and polysulfide shuttle during cycling. In this work, we report a facile and viable approach to address these issues. We propose a method to synthesize a Li2S based nanocomposite cathode material by dissolving Li2S as the active material, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the carbon precursor, and graphene oxide (GO) as a matrix to enhance the conductivity, followed by a co-precipitation and high-temperature carbonization process. The Li2S/rGO cathode yields an exceptionally high initial capacity of 817 mAh g-1 based on Li2S mass at C/20 rate and also shows a good cycling performance. The carbon-coated Li2S/rGO cathode demonstrates the capability of robust core-shell nanostructures for different rates and improved capacity retention, revealing carbon coated Li2S/rGO composites as an outstanding system for high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries.

Capacity Decay

Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered as a promising candidate for the next-generation high energy density storage devices. However, they are still hindered by serious capacity decay on cycling caused by the dissolution of redox intermediates. Here, we designed a unique structure with polypyrrole (ppy) inserting into the graphene oxide (GO) sheet for accommodating sulfur. Such a sulfur host not only exhibits a good electronic and ionic conductivity, but also can suppress polysulfide dissolution effectively. With this advanced design, the composite cathode showed a high specific capacity of 548.4[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at 5.0 C. A stable Coulombic efficiency of [Formula: see text]99.5% and a capacity decay rate as low as 0.089% per cycle along with 300 cycles at 1.0 C were achieved for composite cathodes with 78[Formula: see text]wt.% of S. Besides, the interaction mechanism between PPy and lithium polysulfides (LPS) was investigated by density-functional theory (DFT), suggesting that only the polymerization of N atoms can bind strongly to Li ions of LPS rather than single N atoms. The 3D structure GO-PPy host with high conductivity and excellent trapping ability to LPS offered a viable strategy to design high-performance cathodes for Li–S batteries.
