The shuttle effect of polysulfides is one of the key factors hindering the commercialization of lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs).Owing to their high conductivity and advantageous structure,heterostructures can be used in sulfur fixation and catalysis of LSBs.In this study,a flower-shaped ZnO/ZnS heterostructure on a nitrogen-doped porous carbon(NPC)sulfur host was designed.The ZnO/ZnS heterostructure regulates the electronic structure of the material and exhibits higher metal-like properties.Moreover,the ZnO/ZnS heterostructure combines the strong adsorption property of ZnO and the high catalytic ability of ZnS to realize the anchoring-diffusion-conversion of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs).Results reveal that the developed ZnO/ZnS@NPC/S cathode has excellent electrochemical performance in LSBs,achieving a high discharge specific capacity of 1365.3 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 C and excellent rate capability(719 mAh·g-1 at 2C;the capacity decay rate is only 0.042%per cycle after 1000 cycles).Even under a high sulfur loading-E/S(electrolyte/sulfur)ratio of 5.1 mg·cm-2-6 μl·mg-1,a high specific capacity of 723.7 mAh·g-1 is maintained after 60 cycles.This study provides a new strategy for a multifunctional sulfur host that can effectively alleviate the shuttle effect of LiPSs and improve the utilization of sulfur active substances.
