Lithium sulfur(Li-S)battery is a kind of burgeoning energy storage system with high energy density.However,the electrolyte-soluble intermediate lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)undergo notorious shuttle effect,which seriously hinders the commercialization of Li-S batteries.Herein,a unique VSe2/V2C heterostructure with local built-in electric field was rationally engineered from V2C parent via a facile thermal selenization process.It exquisitely synergizes the strong affinity of V2C with the effective elec-trocatalytic activity of VSe2.More importantly,the local built-in electric field at the heterointerface can sufficiently promote the electron/ion transport ability and eventually boost the conversion kinetics of sulfur species.The Li-S battery equipped with VSe2/V2C-CNTs-PP separator achieved an outstanding initial specific capacity of 1439.1 mA h g-1 with a high capacity retention of 73%after 100 cycles at 0.1 C.More impressively,a wonderful capacity of 571.6 mA h g-1 was effectively maintained after 600 cycles at 2 C with a capacity decay rate of 0.07%.Even under a sulfur loading of 4.8 mg cm-2,areal capac-ity still can be up to 5.6 mA h cm-2.In-situ Raman tests explicitly illustrate the effectiveness of VSe2/V2C-CNTs modifier in restricting LiPSs shuttle.Combined with density functional theory calculations,the underlying mechanism of VSe2/V2C heterostructure for remedying LiPSs shuttling and conversion kinet-ics was deciphered.The strategy of constructing VSe2/V2C heterocatalyst in this work proposes a univer-sal protocol to design metal selenide-based separator modifier for Li-S battery.Besides,it opens an efficient avenue for the separator engineering of Li-S batteries.
