Covalently grafting conjugated porous polymers to MXene offers a two-dimensional sandwich-structured electrocatalytic sulfur host for lithium-sulfur batteries

Yawen Cao et al.

Summary: A two-dimensional sandwich structure electrocatalytic sulfur host is synthesized by grafting a conjugated microporous polymer to MXene nanosheets, which offers chemisorption sites to capture various polysulfides and accelerates their conversion. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries using this sulfur host exhibit high specific capacity, outstanding rate capability, and low capacity decay. This methodology provides a universal approach for constructing electrocatalytic 2D composites that can be used not only in Li-S batteries but also in other contemporary energy technologies.

Coaxially grafting conjugated microporous polymers containing single-atom cobalt catalysts to carbon nanotubes enhances sulfur cathode reaction kinetics

Yuncan Jia et al.

Summary: Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) containing Co single-atom catalysts (Co SACs) and being grafted to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been synthesized and investigated for their potential use in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. The composite material, labeled as Co-CMP-MWNTs, shows excellent performance in terms of specific capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability. The results demonstrate the potential of Co SACs to enhance the cathode reaction kinetics in Li-S batteries, and the methodology described may have applications in other energy conversion technologies.

Non-Solvating and Low-Dielectricity Cosolvent for Anion-Derived Solid Electrolyte Interphases in Lithium Metal Batteries

Jun-Fan Ding et al.

Summary: The cosolvents play a critical role in the solvation structure of Li+ and the formation of SEI on working Li metal anodes, with NL cosolvents enhancing the interaction between anion and Li+ to induce an anion-derived inorganic-rich SEI. A solvent with proper relative binding energy toward Li+ and dielectric constant is suitable as NL cosolvent.
