锂硫电池高的比能量密度(2600 Wh•kg−1), 使其成为一种很有前景的储能系统. 然而, 在氧化还原反应中, 中间产物多硫化物(LiPSs)的穿梭效应, 以及缓慢的电化学反应动力学导致阴极和阳极的严重降解, 使容量迅速衰减. 在此, 制备了一种多功能磷化铁碳布(FeP/CC)中间层, 为锂硫电池提供了更多的活性位点, 不仅可以物理捕获多硫化物(LiPSs)以抑制穿梭效应, 确保稳定的循环, 而且对LiPSs具有催化能力, 有助于提高电化学反应动力学. 带有FeP/CC中间层的锂硫电池可实现1329 mAh•g−1的首圈放电容量, 在100圈循环后, 仍然能保持在1100 mAh•g−1的可逆容量, 并且FeP/CC表现出优异的对LiPS吸附与催化转化能力. 这种多功能FeP/CC中间层为高稳定性以及高容量的锂硫电池提供了一种可行的思路.

With the progress of science and the development of human society, traditional energy is increasingly exhausted, and low energy density lithium ion battery is not enough to support the demand for energy, so the development of high capacity of clean energy system is imminent. Unlike Li-ion batteries, Li-sulfur batteries have a high specific energy density (2600 Wh•kg−1), making them a promising energy storage system. However, in oxidation-reduction reaction, the shuttle effect of intermediate polysulfides (LiPSs) and slow electrochemical reaction kinetics lead to severe degradation of the cathode and anode, resulting in rapid capacity decay. In this paper, a multifunctional FeP/carbon cloth (FeP/CC) interlayer was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. The FeP grows evenly in a “needle” shape on a smooth carbon cloth. This structure provides more active sites for Li-S batteries and greatly improves the electrochemical reaction kinetics by utilizing the catalytic ability of phosphate to Li-S batteries. In addition, carbon cloth (CC), as the matrix, can also play the role of “physical domain limiting”, thereby physically trapping LiPSs, inhibiting the shuttle effect and ensuring the cycle stability. In subsequent electrochemical tests, the FeP/CC interlayer lithium-sulfur battery had a first cycle discharge capacity of 1329 mAh•g−1 and a reversible capacity of 1100 mAh•g−1 after 100 cycles. When the sulfur load reaches 3.4 mg•cm−2 and the current density is 1 C, the cyclic capacity is stable at 495 mAh•g−1. In addition, FeP/CC showed excellent adsorption and catalytic conversion ability for LiPSs in visual adsorption experiments and ultraviolet spectrum tests. This multifunctional FeP/CC interlayer provides a feasible idea for the development of high stability and high capacity lithium-sulfur batteries.
