Integrating CoP/Co heterojunction into nitrogen-doped carbon polyhedrons as electrocatalysts to promote polysulfides conversion in lithium-sulfur batteries.
Journal of colloid and interface science(2024)
摘要
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have garnered extensive research interest as one of the most promising energy storage devices due to their ultra-high theoretical energy density. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics, abominable shuttling effect and inferior cycling stability severely restrict its practical application. Herein, a multifunctional CoP/Co@NC/CNT heterostructure host material was elaborately designed and synthesized by integrating CoP/Co heterojunction, N-doped carbon hollow polyhedrons (NC) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Specifically, the CoP/Co heterojunction can reconfigure the local electronic structure, resulting in a synergistic effect that enhances adsorption capacity and catalytic activity compared to CoP and Co alone. Furthermore, the CNTs-grafted NC not only provides multi-dimensional pathways for rapid electron transport and ion diffusion, but also physically restricts the diffusion of polysulfides during charge-discharge processes. Owing to these advantages, the battery assembled with the CoP/Co@NC/CNT/S cathode yields an impressive discharge specific capacity of 1479.9 mAh g-1 at 0.1C, and excellent capacity retention of 793.7 mAh g-1 over 500 cycles at 2C (∼85.5 % of initial capacity). The rational integration of multifunctional heterostructures could provide an effective strategy for designing high-efficiency nanocomposite electrocatalysts to promote sulfur redox kinetics in Li-S batteries.
