Abstract
The research on lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) addresses the challenges of sulfur's insulating properties and the 'shuttle effect' of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) hindering their commercialization. The introduction of a phosphorous-modified mesoporous Titanium Nitride (TiN) interlayer for the S@MWCNTs cathode demonstrates significant advancements in enhancing conductivity and enabling greater sulfur loading. This modification minimizes the LiPS's 'shuttle effect' through robust chemical bonds with phosphorous loading, leading to superior electrochemical performance. Electrochemical analyses reveal that the phosphorous-modified TiN offers a greater number of active sites for catalyzing redox reactions of the sulfur cathode. The phosphorous-modified mesoporous titanium nitride (P-TiN) interlayer exhibits impressive electrochemical performance, delivering a capacity of 358 mAh g−1 after 320 cycles at 0.1 C and demonstrating high-rate performance of 380 mAh g−1 at 1 C.
期刊介绍:
Electrochemistry Communications is an open access journal providing fast dissemination of short communications, full communications and mini reviews covering the whole field of electrochemistry which merit urgent publication. Short communications are limited to a maximum of 20,000 characters (including spaces) while full communications and mini reviews are limited to 25,000 characters (including spaces). Supplementary information is permitted for full communications and mini reviews but not for short communications. We aim to be the fastest journal in electrochemistry for these types of papers.
