MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:2101. [PMID: 36903216 PMCID: PMC10004673 DOI: 10.3390/ma16052101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
With the goal of improving the mechanical properties of porous hierarchical carbon, cellulosic fiber fabric was incorporated into the resorcinol/formaldehyde (RF) precursor resins. The composites were carbonized in an inert atmosphere, and the carbonization process was monitored by TGA/MS. The mechanical properties, evaluated by nanoindentation, show an increase in the elastic modulus due to the reinforcing effect of the carbonized fiber fabric. It was found that the adsorption of the RF resin precursor onto the fabric stabilizes its porosity (micro and mesopores) during drying while incorporating macropores. The textural properties are evaluated by N2 adsorption isotherm, which shows a surface area (BET) of 558 m2g-1. The electrochemical properties of the porous carbon are evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronocoulometry (CC), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Specific capacitances (in 1 M H2SO4) of up to 182 Fg-1 (CV) and 160 Fg-1 (EIS) are measured. The potential-driven ion exchange was evaluated using Probe Bean Deflection techniques. It is observed that ions (protons) are expulsed upon oxidation in acid media by the oxidation of hydroquinone moieties present on the carbon surface. In neutral media, when the potential is varied from values negative to positive of the potential of zero charge, cation release, followed by anion insertion, is found.

Abstract
Although graphene has exceptional properties, they are not enough to solve the extensive list of pressing world problems. The substitutional doping of graphene using heteroatoms is one of the preferred methods to adjust the physicochemical properties of graphene. Much effort has been made to dope graphene using a single dopant. However, in recent years, substantial efforts have been made to dope graphene using two or more dopants. This review summarizes all the hard work done to synthesize, characterize, and develop new technologies using codoped, tridoped, and quaternary doped graphene. First, I discuss a simple question that has a complicated answer: When can an atom be considered a dopant? Then, I briefly discuss the single atom doped graphene as a starting point for this review's primary objective: codoped or dual-doped graphene. I extend the discussion to include tridoped and quaternary doped graphene. I review most of the systems that have been synthesized or studied theoretically and the areas in which they have been used to develop new technologies. Finally, I discuss the challenges and prospects that will shape the future of this fascinating field. It will be shown that most of the graphene systems that have been reported involve the use of nitrogen, and much effort is needed to develop codoped graphene systems that do not rely on the stabilizing effects of nitrogen. I expect that this review will contribute to introducing more researchers to this fascinating field and enlarge the list of codoped graphene systems that have been synthesized.

Abstract
The shuttle effect is understood to be the most significant issue that needs to be solved to improve the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries. In this study, ultrathin two-dimensional Fe-Co bimetallic oxide nanosheets were prepared using graphene as a template, which could rapidly catalyze the conversion of polysulfides and inhibit the shuttle effect. Additionally, such ultrathin nanostructures based on graphene provided sufficient active sites and fast diffusion pathways for lithium ions. Taking into account the aforementioned benefits, the ultrathin two-dimensional Fe-Co bimetallic oxide nanosheets modified separator assembled lithium-sulfur batteries delivered an incredible capacity of 1044.2 mAh g-1 at 1 C and retained an excellent reversible capacity of 859.4 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles. Even under high loading, it still achieved high area capacity and good cycle stability (92.6% capacity retention).

Abstract
A unique porous material, namely, MXene/SiO2 hybrid aerogel, with a high surface area, was prepared via sol-gel and freeze-drying methods. The hierarchical porous hybrid aerogel possesses a three-dimensional integrated network structure of SiO2 cross-link with two-dimensional MXene; it is used not only as a scaffold to prepare sulfur-based cathode material, but also as an efficient functional separator to block the polysulfides shuttle. MXene/SiO2 hybrid aerogel as sulfur carrier exhibits good electrochemical performance, such as high discharge capacities (1007 mAh g–1 at 0.1 C) and stable cycling performance (823 mA h g–1 over 200 cycles at 0.5 C). Furthermore, the battery assembled with hybrid aerogel-modified separator remains at 623 mA h g–1 over 200 cycles at 0.5 C based on the conductive porous framework and abundant functional groups in hybrid aerogel. This work might provide further impetus to explore other applications of MXene-based composite aerogel.

Abstract
Selenium (Se)-based cathode materials have garnered considerable interest for lithium-ion batteries due to their numerous advantages, including low cost, high volumetric capacity (3268 mAh cm−3), high density (4.82 g cm−3), ability to be cycled to high voltage (4.2 V) without failure, and environmental friendliness. However, they have low electrical conductivity, low coulombic efficiency, and polyselenide solubility in electrolytes (shuttle effect). These factors have an adverse effect on the electrochemical performance of Li-Se batteries, rendering them unsuitable for real-world use. In this study, we briefly examined numerous approaches to overcoming these obstacles, including selecting an adequate electrolyte, the composition of Se with carbonaceous materials, and the usage of metal selenide base electrodes. Furthermore, we examined the effect of introducing interlayers between the cathode and the separator. Finally, the remaining hurdles and potential study prospects in this expanding field are proposed to inspire further insightful work.

Abstract
Alkali metal batteries based on lithium, sodium, and potassium anodes and sulfur-based cathodes are regarded as key for next-generation energy storage due to their high theoretical energy and potential cost effectiveness. However, metal-sulfur batteries remain challenged by several factors, including polysulfides' (PSs) dissolution, sluggish sulfur redox kinetics at the cathode, and metallic dendrite growth at the anode. Functional separators and interlayers are an innovative approach to remedying these drawbacks. Here we critically review the state-of-the-art in separators/interlayers for cathode and anode protection, covering the Li-S and the emerging Na-S and K-S systems. The approaches for improving electrochemical performance may be categorized as one or a combination of the following: Immobilization of polysulfides (cathode); catalyzing sulfur redox kinetics (cathode); introduction of protective layers to serve as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) (anode); and combined improvement in electrolyte wetting and homogenization of ion flux (anode and cathode). It is demonstrated that while the advances in Li-S are relatively mature, less progress has been made with Na-S and K-S due to the more challenging redox chemistry at the cathode and increased electrochemical instability at the anode. Throughout these sections there is a complementary discussion of functional separators for emerging alkali metal systems based on metal-selenium and the metal-selenium sulfide. The focus then shifts to interlayers and artificial SEI/cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers employed to stabilize solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) in metal-sulfur solid-state batteries (SSBs). The discussion of SSEs focuses on inorganic electrolytes based on Li- and Na-based oxides and sulfides but also touches on some hybrid systems with an inorganic matrix and a minority polymer phase. The review then moves to practical considerations for functional separators, including scaleup issues and Li-S technoeconomics. The review concludes with an outlook section, where we discuss emerging mechanics, spectroscopy, and advanced electron microscopy (e.g. cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and cryo-focused ion beam (cryo-FIB))-based approaches for analysis of functional separator structure-battery electrochemical performance interrelations. Throughout the review we identify the outstanding open scientific and technological questions while providing recommendations for future research topics.

Abstract
Abstract
To deal with the notorious shuttle behavior and sluggish conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), heteroatoms doping and defects creating are practical strategies for improving capture and catalytic conversion of LiPSs. In this work, O doped porous carbon materials (OPC) with a 3D hierarchical structure, consisting of 2–4 μm carbon sheets decorated with macrospores of 0.2–0.4 μm, was fabricated with MgO template. It is found that the increasing the carbonization temperature and the amount of MgO will make OPC rich in oxygen functional groups and defect sites. Electrochemical measures show that the OPC12–800 achieves reversible capacity (an initial discharge specific capacity of 1448.4 mAh g−1 at current density of 0.1 C) and cycling performance (717.7 mAh g−1 at 2 C over 200 cycles). The excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to the hierarchical porous structure, abundant C–O/C=O and defects, which effectively adsorbs polysulfides and promote faster redox reaction of LiPSs. This study provides an alternative to improve the performance of carbon materials as host of Li–S batteries by regulating the types of oxygen-containing functional groups and defects on carbon surface.

Abstract
Fabrication of a highly porous sulfur host and using excess electrolyte is a common strategy to enhance sulfur utilization. However, flooded electrolyte limits the practical energy density of Li-S pouch cells. In this study, a novel Fe0.34 Co0.33 Ni0.33 S2 (FCN) is proposed as host for sulfur to realize Ah-level Li-S full cells demonstrating excellent electrochemical performances under 2 µL mg-1 lean electrolyte conditions. Moreover, Kelvin probe force microscopy shows that the FCN surface contains positive charge with a potential of ≈70 mV, improving the binding of polysulfides through Lewis acid base interaction. In particular, the FCN@S possesses inherent electrochemical activity of simultaneous anionic and cationic redox for lithium storage in the voltage window of 1.8-2.1 V, which additionally contributes to the specific capacity. Due to the low carbon content (≈10 wt%), the sulfur loading is as high as ≈6 mg cm-2 , approaching an outstanding energy density of 394.9 and 267.2 Wh kg-1 at the current density of 1.5 and 4 mA cm-2 , respectively. Moreover, after 60 cycles at 1.5 mA cm-2 , the pouch cell still retains an energy of 300.2 Wh kg-1 . This study represents a milestone in the practical applications of high-energy Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The rate-determining process for sodium storage in TiO2 is greatly depending on charge transfer happening in the electrode materials owing to its inferior diffusion coefficient and electronic conductivity. Apart from reducing the diffusion distance of ion/electron, the increasement of ionic/electronic mobility in the crystal lattice is also very important for charge transport. Here, an oxygen vacancy (OV) engineering assisted in high-content anion (S/Se/P) doping strategy to enhance charge transfer kinetics for ultrafast sodium-storage performance is proposed. Theoretical calculations indicate that OV-engineering evokes spontaneous S doping into the TiO2 phase and achieves high dopant concentration to bring about impurity state electron donor and electronic delocalization over S occupied sites, which can largely reduce the migration barrier of Na+. To realize the speculation, high-content anion doped anatase TiO2/C composites (9.82 at% for S in A-TiO2-x-S/C) are elaborately designed. The optimized A-TiO2-x-S/C anode exhibits extraordinarily high-rate capability with 209.6 mAh g-1 at 5000 mA g-1. The assembled sodium ion capacitors deliver an ultrahigh energy density of 150.1 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 150 W kg-1 when applied as anode materials. This work provides a new strategy to realize high content anion doping concentration, and enhances the charge transfer kinetics for TiO2, which delivers an efficient approach for the design of electrode materials with fast kinetic.

Abstract
A cathode-coating material composed of cationic polymer-grafted graphene oxide (CPGO) and carbon nanotube (CNT) was prepared, where the CPGO was synthesized by grafting quaternized 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (QDMAEMA) onto graphene oxide (GO) via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). GO has good compatibility with carbon black, the main component of the cathode in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. Here, the cationic polymer having the QDMAEMA unit was intentionally grafted onto GO to decrease the shuttle effect by increasing the chemical adsorption of polysulfide (PS). In addition, when CNT was mixed with CPGO, the compatibility with carbon black was found to be further increased. The lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery with a sulfur-deposited Super P® carbon black (S/C) cathode coated with a mixture of CPGO and CNT was found to have much improved cell performance compared to those coated without any coating material, with only CPGO, with the mixture of GO and CNT, and with the mixture of PQDMAEMA and CNT. For example, the Li–S battery with the cathode coated using the mixture of CPGO and CNT retained a discharge capacity of 744 mA h g−1 after 50 cycles at 0.2C-rate, while those of the Li–S batteries with bare S/C and CPGO-S/C cathodes were found to be much smaller, i.e., 488 mA h g−1 and 641 mA h g−1, respectively, under the same conditions. Therefore, the mixture of CPGO with CNT as the cathode-coating material showed a synergetic effect to enhance the cell performance of the Li–S battery system. A cathode-coating material composed of cationic polymer-grafted graphene oxide (CPGO) and carbon nanotube (CNT) was prepared and used as a cathode-coating material for lithium sulfur batteries.![]()

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted much attention as a promising next-generation energy storage system due to their high theoretical specific capacity and energy density. However, lithium-sulfur batteries are still facing some problems that hinder their large-scale commercial application. High conductivity molybdenum dioxide coated with carbon composite (MoO2@C) were introduced to coat the separator to study its application in lithium sulfur batteries. Molybdenum dioxide coated with carbon composite nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method and high-temperature calcination and then was coated on the separator with acetylene black. The coating layer can take advantage of the synergetic effect of physical barrier and chemical adsorption to reduce the loss of active substances. The electrochemical performance of the battery has been improved by applying MoO2@C in lithium-sulfur separator. The first discharge specific capacity is 917 mA h g-1 under the current density of 1.0 A g-1, after 300 cycles, the capacity is 618 mA h g-1; after 200 cycles under the current density of 2.0 A g-1, the reversible specific capacity can still maintain 551 mA h g-1.

Abstract
The mounting requirements for electric apparatus and vehicles stimulate the rapid progress of energy storage systems. Lithium (Li) metal is regarded as one of the most prospective anodes for high-performance cells. However, the uneven dendrite growth is one of the primary conundrums that hampers the use of the Li metal anode in rechargeable Li batteries. Achieving even Li deposition is crucial to solve this concern. In this study, a stable interlayer based on electrospun flexible MnO nanoparticle/nitrogen (N)-doped (polyimide) PI-based porous carbon nanofiber (MnO-PCNF) films was effectively prepared via electrospinning and in situ growth of MnO to reduce the growth of Li dendrites. It is revealed that the attraction of implanted MnO towards Li, the lithiophilic nature of N dopants and the capillary force of porous architectures are beneficial to the preeminent Li wettability of the MnO-PCNF interlayer. Furthermore, the wettable, stable and conductive structure of the MnO-PCNF interlayer can be retained well, offering rapid charge transfer to Li redox reactions, reduced local current density during the cycling process and homogeneous distribution of deposited Li. Consequently, anodes with MnO-PCNF interlayers can relieve the volume change and inhibit the growth of Li dendrites, demonstrating a remarkable lifetime for lithium metal cells at high current.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have shown great application prospects as next-generation energy storage systems due to their high theoretical capacity and high energy density. However, the practical application of Li-S batteries is still hindered by several challenges, such as their sluggish sulfur redox kinetics and shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). To date, significant research has been focused on the confinement adsorption and catalytic conversion of LiPSs using theoretical or/and experimental methods. Among them, theoretical calculations are highly attractive to observe complex LiPS conversion reactions, which facilitate the rational design of S mediators for high-performance Li-S batteries. In this review, we summarize and discuss the recent advances in the adsorption and conversion of LiPSs from the viewpoint of theoretical calculations. Moreover, a set of theoretical principles to guide the screening of suitable host materials for Li-S batteries is presented and discussed. Finally, some personal insights about the future challenges and the focus of research in this field are presented, which will push a milestone step toward high-efficiency and long-life Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are one of the most promising candidates for meeting the emerging market demands for energy storage, and have the advantages including high energy density and low cost. However, the practical application of Li-S batteries is hindered by the lithium polysulfide (LiPS) shuttle, which induces low sulfur utilization and unsatisfactory capacity retention. To address this problem, recent studies have focused on improving the transformation of LiPS into insoluble Li2S2/Li2S through methods beyond physical or chemical adsorption. Nevertheless, the commonly used host materials have limited ability to simultaneously trap and propel redox transfer of LiPS. Herein, the bottom-up construction of new organic-inorganic hybrid frameworks for sulfur cathodes is proposed to fundamentally restrict LiPS dissolution and enhance their electrochemical transformation. The synergistic integration of organic cellulose networks and inorganic ZIF-derivatives caused highly efficient LiPS mediators to suppress the shuttle effect and retain electrode stability. The resulting RCE-Co3O4@G-S cathode materials delivered a stable capacity of 726.5 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C after 350 cycles, with a very low fading rate of 0.026% per cycle and a high coulombic efficiency of 98.9%.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted considerable attention due to their high energy density (2600 Wh kg-1). However, its commercialization is hindered seriously by the low loading and utilization rate of sulfur cathodes. Herein, we designed the cellulose-based graphene carbon composite aerogel (CCA) self-standing electrode to enhance the performance of Li-S batteries. The CCA contributes to the mass loading and utilization efficiency of sulfur, because of its unique physical structure: low density (0.018 g cm-3), large specific surface area (657.85 m2 g-1), high porosity (96%), and remarkable electrolyte adsorption (42.25 times). Compared to Al (about 49%), the CCA displayed excellent sulfur use efficiency (86%) and could reach to high area capacity of 8.60 mAh cm-2 with 9.11 mg S loading. Meanwhile, the CCA exhibits the excellent potential for pulse sensing applications due to its flexibility and superior sensitivity to electrical response signals.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have been regarded as potential energy storage devices by virtue of their high theoretical capacity, natural abundance of materials and low cost. However, the notorious shuttle effect and sluggish reaction kinetics are still significant challenges for further development. Herein, Ni12P5 nanoparticles are devised and grown on a reduced graphene oxide (Ni12P5@rGO) framework via a self-template and recrystallization-self-assembly strategy, as the modifier for separators in LSBs for the first time. The support of rGO for Ni12P5 nanoparticles could solve the self-aggregation problem. Ni12P5 nanoparticles not only effectively adsorb polysulfides by polar interaction, but also supply active sites to ameliorate the kinetics of the redox reaction of sulfur. Consequently, when a sulfur-containing commercial acetylene black material (70 wt% sulfur content) is used as the cathode composite without complicated fabrication or surface modification, an LSB with Ni12P5@rGO modified separator shows excellent cycling stability and a capacity degradation of 0.074% per cycle at the current density of 1 C for 500 cycles. When the areal mass of sulfur further increases to 3.5 mg cm-2, the capacity degradation is only 0.071% per cycle at 150 cycles. This study could accelerate the application of phosphides in LSBs.

Abstract
Nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon-coated Li4 Ti5 O12 (denoted as LTO/NSC) was developed to enhance the electrochemical performance of LTO material. l-Cysteine served as both the carbon source and the heteroatom doping source. The morphology of LTO was tuned by Ti-C bond formation during carbonation process, accompanied by a change in the original orientation growth of the LTO lattice plane. Consequently, LTO transformed from nanosheets to nanoparticles. SEM data proved that the structure of LTO/NSC nanoparticles was more stable than that of LTO nanosheets after hundreds of charge/discharge process. The N,S co-doped carbon layer can moderate particle aggregation and may help to shorten the electron transport length and enhance lithium storage capacity. The structural superiority and the N,S co-doped carbon layer endows LTO/NSC particles with high reversible specific capacity (183 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C), significantly enhanced rate capability (122 mA h g-1 at 10 C) and excellent cycling stability (capacity retention of 96.3 % after 200 cycles) relative to these features of LTO nanosheets. Thus, LTO/NSC is a promising anode material for high-performance lithium ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries as a new generation of high energy batteries, with low cost and environmentally friendly, have a broad application prospects. While the poor conductivity of sulfur, the volume effect and 'shuttle effect' during charge and discharge, and slow redox kinetics of polysulfide intermediates still limit the practical application. To solve these problems, we synthesize a valid 3D hybrid material (Co9S8@N-CHS) of nanosized Co9S8 evenly distributed on N-doped carbon hollow spheres with strong chemical coupling by in situ carbonization of Co(NO3)2@resorcinol/formaldehyde and sulfidation. It presents a high electronic conductivity, absorbing chemical adsorption capability to polysulfides and can catalyze the sulfur redox processes. Compared with S/AC and S/N-CHS electrodes, S/Co9S8@N-CHS electrodes achieve an excellent initial discharge specific capacity of 1337 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and a long cycle life with an ultralow capacity decay of 0.027% per cycle over 1000 cycles at 1.0 C and the coulombic efficiency is above 99%. Consequently, it is an effective sulfur host material for high performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries hold great promise to serve as next-generation energy storage devices. However, the practical performances of Li-S batteries are severely limited by the sulfur cathode regarding its low conductivity, huge volume change, and the polysulfide shuttle effect. The first two issues have been well addressed by introducing mesoporous carbon hosts to the sulfur cathode. Unfortunately, the nonpolar nature of carbon materials renders poor affinity to polar polysulfides, leaving the shuttling issue unaddressed. In this contribution, atomic cobalt is implanted within the skeleton of mesoporous carbon via a supramolecular self-templating strategy, which simultaneously improves the interaction with polysulfides and maintains the mesoporous structure. Moreover, the atomic cobalt dopants serve as active sites to improve the kinetics of the sulfur redox reactions. With the atomic-cobalt-decorated mesoporous carbon host, a high capacity of 1130 mAh gS -1 at 0.5 C and a high stability with a retention of 74.1% after 300 cycles are realized. Implanting atomic metal in mesoporous carbon demonstrates a feasible strategy to endow nanomaterials with targeted functions for Li-S batteries and broad applications.

Lithium Borate Containing Bifunctional Binder To Address Both Ion Transporting and Polysulfide Trapping for High-Performance Li-S Batteries. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2019; 11:28968-28977.

Abstract
A slightly cross-linked lithium borate containing single ion-conducting polymer (LBSIP) as a bifunctional binder for lithium sulfur batteries is designed and fabricated via a one-step thiol-ene click reaction. The LBSIP binder exhibits a maximum peeling strength of over 600 mN mm-1 between the sulfur cathode and aluminum foil, together showing a high lithium ion diffusion coefficient of 2.1 × 10-12 cm2 s-1. Owing to the unique electron-donating groups, the binder can provide a good ionic conductive network and a dramatically enhanced polysulfide-trapping feature. The strong interaction between electron-donating groups of LBSIP with Li2S6 was confirmed by the 7Li-NMR analysis and density-functional theory calculation. The cathode using the LBSIP binder exhibited a high Coulombic efficiency of ∼100% and an initial specific capacity of 712 mAh g-1 with a capacity fading rate of 0.06% per cycle after 500 cycles at 0.5 C. Even at a high current rate of 2 C, a reversible capacity of over 500 mAh g-1 was still obtained. However, the capacity of the cathode using the PVDF binder decreased to 331 mAh g-1 after 180 cycles at 0.5 C. This work is very attractive for the rational design of functional binders for Li-S batteries with both ion-transporting and polysulfide-trapping features.

Abstract
Nano-sized pores in carbon materials are recently known to give certain constraints to the encapsulated materials by keeping them inside, accompanied with some changes in their structure, morphology, stability, etc. Consequently, nano-sized pores endow the constrained materials with improved performances in comparison with those prepared by conventional processes. These pores may be called "constraint spaces" in carbon materials. Here, we review the experimental results related to these constraint spaces by classifying as nanochannels in carbon nanotubes, nanopores and nanochannels in various porous carbons, and the spaces created by carbon coating.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries are a major focus of academic and industrial energy-storage research due to their high theoretical energy density and the use of low-cost materials. The high energy density results from the conversion mechanism that lithium-sulfur cells utilize. The sulfur cathode, being naturally abundant and environmentally friendly, makes lithium-sulfur batteries a potential next-generation energy-storage technology. The current state of the research indicates that lithium-sulfur cells are now at the point of transitioning from laboratory-scale devices to a more practical energy-storage application. Based on similar electrochemical conversion reactions, the low-cost sulfur cathode can be coupled with a wide range of metallic anodes, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum. These new "metal-sulfur" systems exhibit great potential in either lowering the production cost or producing high energy density. Inspired by the rapid development of lithium-sulfur batteries and the prospect of metal-sulfur cells, here, over 450 research articles are summarized to analyze the research progress and explore the electrochemical characteristics, cell-assembly parameters, cell-testing conditions, and materials design. In addition to highlighting the current research progress, the possible future areas of research which are needed to bring conversion-type lithium-sulfur and other metal-sulfur batteries into the market are also discussed.

Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for electric devices and vehicles prompts the fast development of energy storage systems. Lithium metal is thought to be the most promising electrode for high-performance batteries. However, the growth of lithium dendrites impedes the industrial production of lithium metal batteries. Herein, an effective approach is proposed by coating a commercial separator with three-dimensional porous carbon fibers loaded with silver nanoparticles (Ag-PCNFs), which can be regarded as a subsidiary of the electrode to improve the cycling performance of lithium metal batteries. The porous structure with a high specific surface area endows the electrode with a high lithium-loading capacity. The silver nanoparticles provide the electrode pro-Li property and excellent electrical conductivity, which are beneficial for the electrochemical reaction and reduce the local current density to attain a dendrite-free electrode. Electrochemical cycling performance of symmetric Li-Li batteries shows that Ag-PCNF coating can hinder dendrite growth and enhance the cycling stability, indicating that Ag-PCNFs acting as host materials can effectively guide the deposition of Li and solve the dendrite problem.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have great potential for the next generation of energy-storage devices owing to their high theoretical energy density. However, the polysulfides' shuttling effect seriously degraded the cycle stability and capacity and hindered their commercial applications. Here, we design and fabricate a bifunctional composite separator including a polypropylene (PP) matrix layer and Keggin polyoxometalate [PW12O40]3-/Super P composite retarding layer by utilizing the Coulombic repulsion between polyanion and polysulfides. Such a binary composite separator shows the effects in enhancing the Coulombic efficiency and cycling stability. Compared with the polypropylene (PP) matrix separator, the capacity is improved by 41% after 120 cycles when using the PW12/Super P separator. It is the first time that the polyoxometalate (POM) matrix is used as a bifunctional separator for lithium-sulfur batteries, demonstrating the promise of POM-based separators in reducing the shuttling effect of Li-S battery.

Abstract
Abstract
Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have been considered as one of the most promising energy storage devices that have the potential to deliver energy densities that supersede that of state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries. Due to their high theoretical energy density and cost-effectiveness, Li–S batteries have received great attention and have made great progress in the last few years. However, the insurmountable gap between fundamental research and practical application is still a major stumbling block that has hindered the commercialization of Li–S batteries. This review provides insight from an engineering point of view to discuss the reasonable structural design and parameters for the application of Li–S batteries. Firstly, a systematic analysis of various parameters (sulfur loading, electrolyte/sulfur (E/S) ratio, discharge capacity, discharge voltage, Li excess percentage, sulfur content, etc.) that influence the gravimetric energy density, volumetric energy density and cost is investigated. Through comparing and analyzing the statistical information collected from recent Li–S publications to find the shortcomings of Li–S technology, we supply potential strategies aimed at addressing the major issues that are still needed to be overcome. Finally, potential future directions and prospects in the engineering of Li–S batteries are discussed.

Abstract
A number of observations have been reported on chemical capture and catalysis of anchoring materials for lithium-sulfur batteries. Here, we propose the design principles for the chemical functioned graphene as an anchor material to realize both strong chemical trapping and catalysis. Through the first principle, the periodic law is calculated from the theory. Seven different co-doping series were investigated, e.g. MN4@graphene (M = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu). From binding energy, partial density of state, and charge density difference analysis, the FeN4 and CrN4 co-doped graphene show good performance for the lithium-sulfur battery from both strong anchoring and catalytic effects. For the most kinds of Li2Sx (x = 1, 2, 4, 6, 8) absorption, two combinations can be achieved, including S-bonding and Li-bonding. The competition between the MS and the NLi shows the main difference of the co-doped configurations. Moreover, the S-bonding systems have better performance for both moderate chemical trapping and strong catalysis. The binding energies of Li2Sx and Li decomposed properties considered as the key descriptors for the rational design of lithium-sulfur battery. Lastly, we offer design rules for high performance lithium-sulfur batteries based on the chemical functional graphene materials.

[PMID: 29587467 PMCID: PMC5923521 DOI: 10.3390/nano8040191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2018] [Revised: 03/23/2018] [Accepted: 03/24/2018] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been identified as the greatest potential next- generation energy-storage systems because of the large theoretical energy density of 2600 Wh kg−1. However, its practical application on a massive scale is impeded by severe capacity loss resulted from the notorious polysulfides shuttle. Here, we first present a novel technique to synthesize sandwich-type nitrogen and sulfur codoped graphene-backboned porous carbon (NSGPC) to modify the commercial polypropylene separator in Li-S batteries. The as-synthesized NSGPC exhibits a unique micro/mesoporous carbon framework, large specific surface area (2439.0 m2 g−1), high pore volume (1.78 cm3 g−1), good conductivity, and in situ nitrogen (1.86 at %) and sulfur (5.26 at %) co-doping. Benefiting from the particular physical properties and chemical components of NSGPC, the resultant NSGPC-coated separator not only can facilitate rapid Li+ ions and electrons transfer, but also can restrict the dissolution of polysulfides to alleviate the shuttle effect by combining the physical absorption and strong chemical adsorption. As a result, Li-S batteries with NSGPC-coated separator exhibit high initial reversible capacity (1208.6 mAh g−1 at 0.2 C), excellent rate capability (596.6 mAh g−1 at 5 C), and superior cycling stability (over 500 cycles at 2 C with 0.074% capacity decay each cycle). Propelling our easy-designed pure sulfur cathode to a extremely increased mass loading of 3.4 mg cm−2 (70 wt. % sulfur), the Li-S batteries with this functional composite separator exhibit a superior high initial capacity of 1171.7 mAh g−1, which is quite beneficial to commercialized applications.

Abstract
ZnS coated on N,S co-doped carbon (ZnS/NSC) composite has been prepared utilizing zinc pyrithione (C10H8N2O2S2Zn) as raw material via calcination. Through activation using Na2CO3 salt, ZnS nanoparticles encapsulated in NSC (denoted as A-ZnS/NSC) with mixed-crystal structure has also been obtained, which reveals much larger specific surface area and more bridges between ZnS and NSC. Based on the existence of bridges (C-S-Zn and S-O-Zn bonds) and the modification of carbon from N,S co-doping, the A-ZnS/NSC composite as an anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) displays significantly enhanced electrochemical performances with a high reversible specific capacity of 516.6 mA h g-1 (at 100 mA g-1), outstanding cycling stability (96.9% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1), and high rate behavior (364.9 mA h g-1 even at 800 mA g-1).

Abstract
Suppressing the shuttle effect of polysulfide ions to obtain high durability and good electrochemical performance is of great concern in the field of lithium-sulfur batteries. To address this issue, a Janus membrane consisting of an ultrathin dense layer and a robust microporous layer is fabricated using cation exchange resin. Different from the composite membranes made from polyolefin membranes, the multiple layers of the Janus membrane in this study are synchronously generated by one step, getting rid of the additional complex coating processes. Excellent overall performance is obtained by the cooperation of multiple factors. The excellent ionic selectivity of cation exchange resin renders a great suppression of the shuttle effect, endowing the lithium-sulfur battery with high Coulombic efficiency of 92.0-99.0% (LiNO3-free electrolyte). The ultrathin property of a dense layer renders a low ionic resistance, resulting in 60% higher discharge capacity over the entire C-rates (versus the control sample with Celgard 2400 membrane). The robust macroporous layer supports the ultrathin layer to achieve a free-standing property, ensuring the usability of the Janus membrane.
