Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)have attracted the attention of more and more researchers due to the advantages of high energy density,environmental friend-liness,and low production cost.However,the low elec-tronic conductivity of active material and shuttling effect of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)limit the commercial devel-opment of LSBs.To solve these problems,we design a core-shell composite with nitrogen-doped carbon(NC)and two types of selenides(FeSe2-NC@ZnSe-NC).The FeSe2-NC@ZnSe-NC has a strong adsorption capacity,and can effectively adsorb LiPSs.At the same time,it also effec-tively alleviates the shuttling effect of LiPSs,and improves the utilization of the active substance during the charge/discharge reaction processes.The mechanism involved in FeSe2-NC@ZnSe-NC is demonstrated by both experiments and density-functional theory(DFT)calculations.The electrochemical test results indicate that LSB with S/FeSe2-NC@ZnSe-NC delivers an initial discharge capacity of 1260 mAh·g-1 at 0.2C.And after 500 cycles at 1C,the capacity decay rate per cycle is 0.031%,and the capacity retention rate is 85%.The FeSe2-NC@ZnSe-NC core-shell structure verifies a rational strategy to construct an electrode material for high-performance LSBs.
