Abstract:
The poor conductivity of sulfur, non-uniform Li2S deposition, polysulfide shuttle effect, and slow reaction kinetics severely hinder the commercialization of flexible lithium-sulfur batteries. Herein, a unique flexible selfsupporting sulfur host featuring a dual-carbon layer hierarchical structure is developed, which possesses the following roles: 1) the inner three-dimensional carbon nanotube conductive network promotes electron and ion transport, alleviates sulfur volume expansion, and physically confines active materials; 2) the outer carbon layer modified with CoSe2 nanoparticles functions as a chemical adsorption carrier and electrocatalyst, effectively anchoring polysulfide and enhancing their conversion kinetics. The innovative design of the dual-carbon layer hierarchical structure and the "confinement-adsorption-catalysis" synergistic effect enable uniform Li2S deposition and significant enhancement of sulfur cathode electrochemical performance. Consequently, DC/CoSe2-S exhibited a low capacity decay rate of 0.07% per cycle over 400 cycles at 1C, with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.3%. Notably, DC/CoSe2-S maintained a capacity retention of 98.4% at 0.1C for 100 cycles with a high sulfur loading of 4.0 mg cm- 2 (Electrolyte/Sulfur = 10 mu L mg- 1). Furthermore, the constructed pouch cells (Sulfur loading = 4.0 mg cm- 2, Electrolyte/Sulfur = 8.6 mu L mg-1) also operated stably for 50 cycles, demonstrating the promising potential for practical applications. This work provides new insights into the design of high-performance flexible lithium-sulfur batteries.
