In this work, oxygen-deficient anatase TiO2 nanosheets (A-TiO(2-x)NSs) are proposed as a substrate to improve the electrochemical properties of sulfur electrodes for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. The A-TiO(2-x)NSs are prepared by partly reducing pristine TiO2 nanosheets (A-TiO(2)NSs) in NaBH4 solution. With some oxygen vacancies on the surface of the TiO2 nanosheets, A-TiO(2-x)NSs not only promote electronic transfer, but also act as more effective polysulfide reservoirs to minimize the dissolution of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) than the A-TiO(2)NSs control. Hence, upon utilization as modifiers for cathodes of Li-S batteries, the A-TiO(2-x)NSs modified sulfur (A-TiO(2-x)NSs) cathode exhibits a higher reversible specific capacity and greater cycling performance and rate capability than the A-TiO(2)NSs-modified one (A-TiO(2)NSs-S). For example, A-TiO(2-x)NSs-S delivers an initial specific capacity of 1277(-1) mAhg @ 1 at 0.1 C and maintains a stable Coulombic efficiency of approximately 99.2% after the first five cycles; these values are higher than those of 997.3 mAhg(-1) and around 96.7 %, respectively, for ATiO(2)NSs-S. The enhanced electrochemical properties of the A-TiO(2-x)NSs cathode can be ascribed mainly to the more effective adsorption of dissolvable and diffused LiPSs by the oxygen vacancies. Therefore, utilization of the structure of oxygen vacancies in Li-S batteries demonstrates great prospects for practical application.
