Nickel-plated sulfur nanocomposites for electrochemically stable high-loading sulfur cathodes in a lean-electrolyte lithium-sulfur cell

Cun-Sheng Cheng et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel electroless-nickel-plated sulfur nanocomposite was developed by chemically plating conductive and electrocatalytic nickel onto the surface of sulfur particles. This cathode material demonstrated high charge-storage capacity and excellent rate performance, along with stable long-term cyclability for 200 cycles. The improved electrochemical characteristics were achieved by simultaneously reaching high sulfur loading and content, as well as a low electrolyte-to-sulfur ratio.

Sputtered MoN nanolayer as a multifunctional polysulfide catalyst for high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries

Xin-Yang Yue et al.

Summary: In this study, MoN nanolayer-decorated multilayer graphene was used as a layer material to suppress the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides and enhance the redox kinetics in Li-S batteries. After the initial discharge process, the MoN layers break up into independent microreaction units consisting of MoN bodies and MoS2 edges, forming an in situ heterogeneous composite catalyst. The MoN bodies can trap LiPSs and enhance their redox kinetics, while the MoS2 edges weaken the mobility of LiPSs through the anchoring effect. Li-S cells using this interlayer exhibit excellent cycling stability under a high sulfur loading.
