Amorphous FeSnO x Nanosheets with Hierarchical Vacancies for Room-Temperature Sodium-Sulfur Batteries. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202404816. [PMID: 38788189 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202404816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries, noted for their low material costs and high energy density, are emerging as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in various applications including power grids and standalone renewable energy systems. These batteries are commonly assembled with glass fiber membranes, which face significant challenges like the dissolution of polysulfides, sluggish sulfur conversion kinetics, and the growth of Na dendrites. Here, we develop an amorphous two-dimensional (2D) iron tin oxide (A-FeSnOx) nanosheet with hierarchical vacancies, including abundant oxygen vacancies (Ovs) and nano-sized perforations, that can be assembled into a multifunctional layer overlaying commercial separators for RT Na-S batteries. The Ovs offer strong adsorption and abundant catalytic sites for polysulfides, while the defect concentration is finely tuned to elucidate the polysulfides conversion mechanisms. The nano-sized perforations aid in regulating Na ions transport, resulting in uniform Na deposition. Moreover, the strategic addition of trace amounts of Ti3C2 (MXene) forms an amorphous/crystalline (A/C) interface that significantly improves the mechanical properties of the separator and suppresses dendrite growth. As a result, the task-specific layer achieves ultra-light (~0.1 mg cm-2), ultra-thin (~200 nm), and ultra-robust (modulus=4.9 GPa) characteristics. Consequently, the RT Na-S battery maintained a high capacity of 610.3 mAh g-1 and an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.9 % after 400 cycles at 0.5 C.

Abstract
The emergence of Li-SOCl2 batteries in the 1970s as a high-energy-density battery system sparked considerable interest among researchers. However, limitations in the primary cell characteristics have restricted their potential for widespread adoption in today's sustainable society. Encouragingly, recent developments in alkali/alkaline-earth metal-Cl2 (AM-Cl2) batteries have shown impressive reversibility with high specific capacity and cycle performance, revitalizing the potential of SOCl2 batteries and becoming a promising technology surpassing current lithium-ion batteries. In this review, the emerging AM-Cl2 batteries are comprehensively summarized for the first time. The development history and advantages of Li-SOCl2 batteries are traced, followed by the critical working mechanisms for achieving high rechargeability. The design concepts of electrodes and electrolytes for AM-Cl2 batteries as well as key characterization techniques are also demonstrated. Furthermore, the current challenges and corresponding strategies, as well as future directions regarding the battery are systematically discussed. This review aims to deepen the understanding of the state-of-the-art AM-Cl2 battery technology and accelerate the development of practical AM-Cl2 batteries for next-generation high-energy storage systems.

Abstract
The metal-catalyzed sulfur reaction in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries usually suffers from the strong binding of sulfur species to the catalyst surface, which destroys the electric double layer (EDL) region there. This causes rapid catalyst deactivation because it prevents the desorption of sulfur species and mass transport through the EDL is hindered. This work introduces a competitive adsorption factor (fsulfur) as a new indicator to quantify the competitive adsorption of sulfur species in the EDL and proposes an alloying method to change it by strengthening the p-d hybridization of alloying metals with electrolyte solvents. A cobalt-zinc alloy catalyst with a moderate fsulfur lowers the activation energy of the rate-limiting step of the conversion of lithium polysulfides to lithium sulfide, giving a platform capacity proportion that is 96% of the theoretical value and has a greatly improved anti-passivation ability, especially at high sulfur loadings and lean electrolyte conditions (a low E/S ratio of 5 µL mgS -1). A pouch cell using this approach has a high energy density of up to 464 Wh kg-1. Such a competitive adsorption indicator and alloying strategy offer a new guideline for catalyst design and a practical electrocatalysis solution for Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The exploration of post-Lithium (Li) metals, such as Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Aluminum (Al), and Zinc (Zn), for electrochemical energy storage has been driven by the limited availability of Li and the higher theoretical specific energies compared to the state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries. Post-Li metal||S batteries have emerged as a promising system for practical applications. Yet, the insufficient understanding of quantitative cell parameters and the mechanisms of sulfur electrocatalytic conversion hinder the advancement of these battery technologies. This perspective offers a comprehensive analysis of electrode parameters, including S mass loading, S content, electrolyte/S ratio, and negative/positive electrode capacity ratio, in establishing the specific energy (Wh kg-1) of post-Li metal||S batteries. Additionally, we critically evaluate the progress in investigating electrochemical sulfur conversion via homogeneous and heterogeneous electrocatalytic approaches in both non-aqueous Na/K/Mg/Ca/Al||S and aqueous Zn||S batteries. Lastly, we provide a critical outlook on potential research directions for designing practical post-Li metal||S batteries.

Abstract
Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries hold immense promise as next-generation energy storage systems, owing to their exceptionally high theoretical capacity, abundant resources, eco-friendliness, and affordability. Nevertheless, their practical application is impeded by the shuttling effect of sodium polysulfides (NaPSs) and sluggish sulfur redox kinetics. In this study, an advanced strategy by designing 3D flower-like molybdenum telluride (MoTe2) as an efficient catalyst to promote sulfur redox for RT Na-S batteries is presented. The unique 3D flower-like MoTe2 effectively prevents NaPS shuttling and simultaneously offers abundant active catalytic sites facilitating polysulfide redox. Consequently, the obtained MoTe2/S cathode delivers an outstanding initial reversible capacity of 1015 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C, along with robust cycling stability of retaining 498 mAh g-1 at 1 C after 500 cycles. In addition, pouch cells are fabricated with the MoTe2 additive to deliver an ultrahigh initial discharge capacity of 890 mAh g-1 and remain stable over 40 cycles under practically necessary conditions, demonstrating the potential application in the commercialization of RT Na-S batteries.

Abstract
Linearly interlinked single atoms offer unprecedented physiochemical properties, but their synthesis for practical applications still poses significant challenges. Herein, linearly interlinked iron single-atom catalysts that are loaded onto interconnected carbon channels as cathodic sulfur hosts for room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries are presented. The interlinked iron single-atom exhibits unique metallic iron bonds that facilitate the transfer of electrons to the sulfur cathode, thereby accelerating the reaction kinetics. Additionally, the columnated and interlinked carbon channels ensure rapid Na+ diffusion kinetics to support high-rate battery reactions. By combining the iron atomic chains and the topological carbon channels, the resulting sulfur cathodes demonstrate effective high-rate conversion performance while maintaining excellent stability. Remarkably, even after 5000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g-1, the Na-S battery retains a capacity of 325 mAh g-1. This work can open a new avenue in the design of catalysts and carbon ionic channels, paving the way to achieve sustainable and high-performance energy devices.

Abstract
Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (S@PAN) composites have gathered a lot of interest because of their advantages of high theoretical energy density, excellent cycling stability, and environmental friendliness. Meanwhile, their unique "covalent bonding" mechanism effectively avoids the dissolution and shuttling of polysulfides, and thus they are expected to be the most promising candidate for the cathode material in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Over the past five years, S@PAN cathode materials have been widely studied in Li-S batteries, and it is very important to summarize the advances over time for their practical applications. This article reviews the latest progress concerning the modification of S@PAN cathode materials for improving poor electrical conductivity, low sulfur content, and sluggish reaction kinetics, and proposes possible research directions. We hope this review provides valuable insights and references for future research on Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The broader implementation of current all-solid-state Na-S batteries is still plagued by high operation temperature and inefficient sulfur utilization. And the uncontrollable sulfur speciation pathway along with the sluggish polysulfide redox kinetics further compromise the theoretical potentials of Na-S chemistry. Herein, we report a confined bidirectional tandem electrocatalysis effect to tune polysulfide electrochemistry in a novel low-temperature (80 °C) all-solid-state Na-S battery that utilizes Na3 Zr2 Si2 PO12 ceramic membrane as a platform. The bifunctional hollow sulfur matrix consisting binary atomically dispersed MnN4 and CoN4 hotspots was fabricated using a sacrificial template process. Upon discharge, CoN4 sites activate sulfur species and catalyze long-chain to short-chain polysulfides reduction, while MnN4 centers substantially accelerate the low-kinetic Na2 S4 to Na2 S directly conversion, manipulating the uniform deposition of electroactive Na2 S and avoiding the formation of irreversible products (e.g., Na2 S2 ). The intrinsic synergy of two catalytic centers benefits the Na2 S decomposition and minimizes its activation barrier during battery recharging and then efficiently mitigate the cathodic passivation. As a result, the stable cycling of all-solid-state Na-S cell delivers an attractive reversible capacity of 1060 mAh g-1 with a high CE of 98.5 % and a high energy of 1008 Wh kgcathode -1 , comparable to the liquid electrolyte cells.

Abstract
The development of high-energy-density Li-S batteries (LSBs) is still hindered by the disturbing polysulfide shuttle effect. Herein, with clever combination between "high entropy" and MXene, an HE-MXene doped graphene composite containing multiple element quasi-atoms as bifunctional mediator for separator modification (HE-MXene/G@PP) in LSBs is proposed. The HE-MXene/G@PP offers high electrical conductivity for fast lithium polysulfide (LiPS) redox conversion kinetics, abundant metal active sites for efficient chemisorption with LiPSs, and strong lipophilic characteristics for uniform Li+ deposition on lithium metal surface. As demonstrated by DFT theoretical calculations, in situ Raman, and DRT results successively, HE-MXene/G@PP efficiently captures LiPSs through synergistic modulation of the cocktail effect and accelerates the LiPSs redox reaction, and the lattice distortion effect effectively induces the homogeneous deposition of dendritic-free lithium. Therefore, this work achieves excellent long-term cycling performance with a decay rate of 0.026%/0.031% per cycle after 1200 cycles at 1 C/2 C. The Li||Li symmetric cell still maintains a stable overpotential after 6000 h under 40 mA cm-2/40 mAh cm-2. Furthermore, it delivers favorable cycling stability under 7.8 mg cm-2 and a low E/S ratio of 5.6 μL mg-1. This strategy provides a rational approach to resolve the sulfur cathode and lithium anode problems simultaneously.

Abstract
The commercialization of Li-S batteries as a promising energy system is terribly impeded by the issues of the shuttle effect and Li dendrite. Keggin Al13 -pillared montmorillonite (AlMMT), used as the modified film of the separator together with super-P and poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), has a good chemical affinity to lithium polysulfide (LiPS) to retard the polysulfide shuttling, excellent electrolyte wettability, and a stable structure, which can improve the rate capability and cycling stability of Li-S batteries. Density function theory (DFT) calculations reveal the strong adsorption ability of AlMMT for LiPS. Consequently, the modified film allows Li-S batteries to reach 902 mAh g-1 at 0.2C after 200 cycles and 625 mAh g-1 at 1C after 1000 cycles. More importantly, a high reversible areal capacity of 4.04 mAh cm-2 can be realized under a high sulfur loading of 6.10 mg cm-2 . Combining the merits of rich resources of montmorillonite, prominent performance, simple operation and cost-effectiveness together, this work exploits a new route for viable Li-S batteries for applications.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are supposed to be one of the most potential next-generation batteries owing to their high theoretical capacity and low cost. Nevertheless, the shuttle effect of firm multi-step two-electron reaction between sulfur and lithium in liquid electrolyte makes the capacity much smaller than the theoretical value. Many methods were proposed for inhibiting the shuttle effect of polysulfide, improving corresponding redox kinetics and enhancing the integral performance of Li-S batteries. Here, we will comprehensively and systematically summarize the strategies for inhibiting the shuttle effect from all components of Li-S batteries. First, the electrochemical principles/mechanism and origin of the shuttle effect are described in detail. Moreover, the efficient strategies, including boosting the sulfur conversion rate of sulfur, confining sulfur or lithium polysulfides (LPS) within cathode host, confining LPS in the shield layer, and preventing LPS from contacting the anode, will be discussed to suppress the shuttle effect. Then, recent advances in inhibition of shuttle effect in cathode, electrolyte, separator, and anode with the aforementioned strategies have been summarized to direct the further design of efficient materials for Li-S batteries. Finally, we present prospects for inhibition of the LPS shuttle and potential development directions in Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries have been attracting enormous interests due to their low-cost, high capacity and environmental benignity. However, the shuttle effect and the sluggish electrochemical reaction activity of sodium polysulfides (NaPSs) seriously restrict their practical application. To solve these issues, we rationally designed an advanced Sn-doped In2S3/S/C cathode for RT Na-S batteries by magnetron sputtering in this work, which exhibited a high reversible capacity (1663.5 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) and excellent cycling performance (902.9 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles). The in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated that the Sn-doped In2S3 coating can accelerate charge-transfer kinetics and facilitate the diffusion of Na+. Furthermore, theoretical calculation revealed that doping of Sn into In2S3 can reduce the energy band gap, thus accelerating the electron transfer and promoting the electrochemical conversion of active species. It is demonstrated that adjusting the electronic structure is a reliable method to improve the electrocatalytic effect of catalyst and significantly improve the performance of S cathode in RT Na-S batteries.

Abstract
Composite-polymer-electrolytes (CPEs) embedded with advanced filler materials offer great promise for fast and preferential Li+ conduction. The filler surface chemistry determines the interaction with electrolyte molecules and thus critically regulates the Li+ behaviors at the interfaces. Herein, we probe into the role of electrolyte/filler interfaces (EFI) in CPEs and promote Li+ conduction by introducing an unsaturated coordination Prussian blue analog (UCPBA) filler. Combining scanning transmission X-ray microscope stack imaging studies and first-principle calculations, fast Li+ conduction is revealed only achievable at a chemically stable EFI, which can be established by the unsaturated Co-O coordination in UCPBA to circumvent the side reactions. Moreover, the as-exposed Lewis-acid metal centers in UCPBA efficiently attract the Lewis-base anions of Li salts, which facilitates the Li+ disassociation and enhances its transference number (tLi+). Attributed to these superiorities, the obtained CPEs realize high room-temperature ionic conductivity up to 0.36 mS cm-1 and tLi+ of 0.6, enabling an excellent cyclability of lithium metal electrodes over 4,000 h as well as remarkable capacity retention of 97.6% over 180 cycles at 0.5 C for solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries. This work highlights the crucial role of EFI chemistry in developing highly conductive CPEs and high-performance solid-state batteries.
