Abstract

The detrimental"shuttle effect"of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)together with sluggish multi-order reac-tion kinetics are the main drawbacks hindering lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries from commercial success.Here,we first propose the implementability of layered rare-earth hydroxides(LREHs)in Li-S batteries to optimize electrochemical performance.In this work,a two-dimensional(2D)rare-earth-based composite constructed by the layered gadolinium hydroxy chloride[Gd2(OH)5(H2O)n]Cl nanoplates(LGdH NPs)and graphene oxide(GO)was designed as a sulfur immobilizer for Li-S batteries.Combining the experimental results and density functional theory(DFT)calculations,it is revealed that the LGdH@GO composite not only provides a strong anchoring of the intermediates during cycling,but also acts as an effective catalyst to accelerate the liquid-solid conversion of polysulfides.The Li-S batteries assembled by LGdH@GO mod-ified separators delivered a superior rate performance with a specific capacity of 605.34 mAh/g at 5 C,as well as excellent cycle stability with a decay rate of 0.087%over 500 cycles at 2 C.This study provided a deep understanding of the mechanism to suppress the"shuttle effect"by the LREHs,and a guide to design effective functional interlayers for high-performance Li-S batteries with excellent electrocatalytic activity.
