Self-supported hierarchically porous 3D carbon nanofiber network comprising Ni/Co/NiCo2O4 nanocrystals and hollow N-doped C nanocages as sulfur host for highly reversible Li-S batteries

Rakesh Saroha et al.

Summary: Hierarchically porous nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (P-N-CNF) with well-embedded metallic-Ni/Co and spinel-type NiCo2O4 nanocrystals (Ni-Co/NiCo2O4) along with metal-organic framework-derived hollow nitrogen-doped carbon nanocages (HNC), denoted as P-N-CNF@NCO/HNC, are designed as cathode substrates for advanced lithium-sulfur batteries. The porous and conductive matrix of P-N-CNF allows for rapid ion and electron transfer, while the HNC provides efficient impregnation of active material, stress channeling, and electrolyte percolation. The inclusion of metallic-Ni/Co and polar spinel-type NiCo2O4 nanoparticles prevents polysulfide migration. Experimental results show that the designed lithium-sulfur batteries display stable electrochemical performance under harsh conditions.

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.
