Tóm tắt

Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted great attention due to their high capacity and energy density. However, sulfur cathode suffers from poor cycle stability during the electrochemical process. Fe3C materials are promising sulfur hosts for lithium-sulfur batteries due to their high catalytic effect. In this work, we present Fe3C nanoparticles combined with porous carbon as host materials for lithium-sulfur batteries to overcome these issues. In this hybrid structure, the presence of carbon could act as conductive network for the rapid transport of electrons and ions, while Fe3C could facilitate trapping lithium polysulfide due to its high catalytic effect. As a result, the Fe3C/C@S composites exhibit high specific capacity and stable cycle performance. This work provides a new and effective way for the sulfur host design of high performance lithium-sulfur batteries.
