By introducing CeO2 into cellulose graphene aerogel (CGA), a 3D interconnected structure as the host of Li2S, it provides abundant three-phase boundary, restrains the polysulfide shuttle effect, and improves the electrochemical performance of Li-S battery.
Lithium sulfide is considered the promising cathode material of a Li-S battery because of its high theoretical capacity, high melting point, affordable volume expansion, and lithium composition. However, the quick capacity fading and high activation energy barrier due to low electronic and ionic conductivity and polysulfide shuttle effect still restrict the practical application of the Li2S cathode. Herein, CeO2 is introduced with unique self-redox characteristics into cellulose graphene aerogel (CGA) with the 3D interconnected structure (CGA/CeO2) as the host of Li2S. It is found that CGA/CeO2 can provide plentiful three-phase boundary for the chemisorption to LiPSs through the strong polarity of CeO2. Moreover, the ultrastrong polarity of CeO2 can restrain the LiPSs shuttle, and CeO2 can spontaneously oxidize polysulfide, thus boosting the conversion reaction kinetics and comprehensive electrochemical performances of Li-S battery based on Li2S cathode. As a result, these features reciprocate Li2S-CGA/CeO2 cathode excellent electrochemical performances. Therefore, this work not only provides a significant exploration for the mechanical explanation of the cerium oxide catalytic conversion reaction but also provides a brand-new idea for the excellent electric catalyst for the catalytic conversion reaction of polysulfide in lithium-sulfide batteries.
