Three-Dimensional Graphene–Carbon Nanotube–Ni Hierarchical Architecture as a Polysulfide Trap for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Journal Article Gnana kumar, G. ; Chung, Sheng-Heng ; Raj kumar, T. ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

We report that despite their high energy density and affordable cost compared to lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries still endure from slow reaction kinetics and capacity loss induced by the insulating sulfur and severe polysulfide diffusion. To address these issues, we report here nickel nanoparticles filled in vertically grown carbon nanotubes on graphene sheets (graphene-carbon nanotube-nickel composite (Gr-CNT-Ni)) that are coated onto a polypropylene separator as a polysulfide trap for the construction of high-loading sulfur cathodes. The hierarchical porous framework of Gr-CNT physically entraps and immobilizes the active material sulfur, while the strong chemical interaction with Ni nanoparticles inmore »« less

1T′‐ReS ₂ Nanosheets In Situ Grown on Carbon Nanotubes as a Highly Efficient Polysulfide Electrocatalyst for Stable Li–S Batteries

Journal Article He, Jiarui ; Bhargav, Amruth ; Yaghoobnejad Asl, Hooman ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

Abstract The practical viability of Li–S cells depends on achieving high electrochemical utilization of sulfur under realistic conditions, such as high sulfur loading and low electrolyte/sulfur (E/S) ratio. Here, metallic 2D 1T′‐ReS ₂ nanosheets in situ grown on 1D carbon nanotubes (ReS ₂ @CNT) via a facile hydrothermal reaction are presented to efficiently suppress the “polysulfide shuttle” and promote lithium polysulfide (LiPS) redox reactions. The designed ReS ₂ @CNT nanoarchitecture with high conductivity and rich nanoporosity not only facilitates electron transfer and ion diffusion, but also possesses abundant active sites providing high catalytic activity for efficient LiPS conversion.

Metal Sulfide‐Decorated Carbon Sponge as a Highly Efficient Electrocatalyst and Absorbant for Polysulfide in High‐Loading Li ₂ S Batteries

Journal Article He, Jiarui ; Chen, Yuanfu ; Manthiram, Arumugam - Advanced Energy Materials

Abstract Owing to its high theoretical specific capacity (1166 mA h g ⁻¹ ) and particularly its advantage to be paired with a lithium‐metal‐free anode, lithium sulfide (Li ₂ S) is regarded as a much safer cathode for next‐generation advanced lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. However, the low conductivity of Li ₂ S and particularly the severe “polysulfide shuttle” of lithium polysulfide (LiPS) dramatically hinder their practical application in Li–S batteries. To address such issues, herein a bifuctional 3D metal sulfide‐decorated carbon sponge (3DTSC), which is constructed by 1D carbon nanowires cross‐linked with 2D graphene nanosheets with high conductivity and polar 0Dmore »« less

Vertical Co₉S₈ hollow nanowall arrays grown on a Celgard separator as a multifunctional polysulfide barrier for high-performance Li–S batteries

Journal Article He, Jiarui ; Chen, Yuanfu ; Manthiram, Arumugam - Energy & Environmental Science

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have been regarded as one of the most promising next-generation energy-storage devices, due to their low cost and high theoretical energy density (2600 W h kg^-1). However, the severe dissolution of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and the fatal shuttle effect of the sulfur cathode seriously hinder the practical applications of Li–S batteries. To address such issues, we present here, for the first time, a novel metal organic framework (MOF)-derived Co₉S₈ nanowall array with vertical hollow nanoarchitecture and high electrical conductivity, which is grown in situ on a Celgard separator (Co₉S₈–Celgard) via a feasible and scalable liquid-reaction approach, asmore »« less

A rationally designed polysulfide-trapping interface on the polymeric separator for high-energy Li–S batteries

Journal Article Chang, Chi-Hao ; Chung, Sheng-Heng ; Nanda, Sanjay ; ... - Materials Today Energy

A coating layer consisting of a layer of graphene oxide (GO) inserted in between two layers of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) forms a multifunctional polysulfide-trapping triple-interface on the polymeric separator for lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. The top and bottom highly conductive MWCNT interfaces are able to physically inhibit polysulfide diffusion and effectively reutilize the trapped active material during cycling. The inserted ultrathin GO layer with negatively charged carboxyl groups, on the other hand, electrostatically repels the migrating polysulfide anions. The stacked GO sheets also extensively prolong the migration routes of the polysulfides. Additionally, the “buffer zones” interspersed within the triple-interface accommodatemore »« less
