Abstract

Lithium–sulfur batteries are appealing due to their high energy density and low cost. However, their commercial viability is challenged by uncontrollable dendritic Li growth and severe polysulfide shuttling during cycling. Here, a 3D framework coupling lithiophilic and catalytic CoSe nanoparticles with conductive carbon nanowires (CoSe@C) as an efficient host both for lithium and sulfur is reported. As a cathode host, CoSe@C offers highly efficient catalytic activity for polysulfide redox. As a rationally designed matrix with a high affinity for Li, CoSe@C guides a homogenous growth of Li within the 3D framework, which effectively suppresses dendritic Li growth. As a result, the CoSe@C/Li anode exhibits an ultralong lifespan of > 3000 h with a low overpotential of <23 mV. Remarkably, a full cell with a S/CoSe@C cathode and a CoSe@C/Li anode with a low negative to positive electrode capacity (N/P) ratio of ≈4 exhibits long cycle life of over 600 cycles with a high areal capacity of 5.8 mA h cm ⁻² . It also remains stable after 50 cycles even with lean electrolyte (E/S: 4.5 µL mg ⁻¹ ) and a low N/P ratio of ≈4. This work offers new insights and opportunities for developing dendrite‐free, high‐performance Li–S battery technology.
