Understanding the electrochemical processes of SeS 2 positive electrodes for developing high-performance non-aqueous lithium sulfur batteries. Nat Commun 2024; 15:7669. [PMID: 39227369 PMCID: PMC11371820 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-51647-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024] Open
Abstract
SeS2 positive electrodes are promising components for the development of high-energy, non-aqueous lithium sulfur batteries. However, the (electro)chemical and structural evolution of this class of positive electrodes is not yet fully understood. Here, we use operando physicochemical measurements to elucidate the dissolution and deposition processes in the SeS2 positive electrodes during lithium sulfur cell charge and discharge. Our analysis of real-time imaging reveals the pivotal role of Se in the SeS2 nucleation process, while S enables selective depositions. During the initial discharge, SeS2 converts into Se and S separately, with the dissolved Se acting as nucleation sites due to their lower nucleation potential. The Se effectively catalyzes the growth of S particles, resulting in improved lithium sulfur battery performance compared to cells using positive electrodes containing only Se or S as active materials. By adjusting the Se-to-S ratio, we demonstrate that a low concentration of Se enables uniform catalytic sites, promotes the homogeneous distribution of S and favours improved lithium sulfur battery performance.

Abstract
Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries are considered to be a competitive electrochemical energy storage system, due to their advantages in abundant natural reserves, inexpensive materials, and superb theoretical energy density. Nevertheless, RT Na-S batteries suffer from a series of critical challenges, especially on the S cathode side, including the insulating nature of S and its discharge products, volumetric fluctuation of S species during the (de)sodiation process, shuttle effect of soluble sodium polysulfides, and sluggish conversion kinetics. Recent studies have shown that nanostructural designs of S-based materials can greatly contribute to alleviating the aforementioned issues via their unique physicochemical properties and architectural features. In this review, we review frontier advancements in nanostructure engineering strategies of S-based cathode materials for RT Na-S batteries in the past decade. Our emphasis is focused on delicate and highly efficient design strategies of material nanostructures as well as interactions of component-structure-property at a nanosize level. We also present our prospects toward further functional engineering and applications of nanostructured S-based materials in RT Na-S batteries and point out some potential developmental directions.

Abstract
Transition-metal sulfide SnS2 has aroused wide concern due to its high capacity and nanosheet structure, making it an attractive choice as the anode material in sodium-ion batteries. However, the large volume expansion and poor conductivity of SnS2 lead to inferior cycle stability as well as rate performance. In this work, FeS2 was in situ introduced to synchronously grow with SnS2 on rGO to prepare a heterojunction bimetallic sulfide nanosheet SnS2/FeS2/rGO composite. The composition and distinctive structure facilitate the rapid diffusion of Na+ and improve the charge transfer at the heterogeneous interface, providing sufficient space for volume expansion and improving anode materials' structural stability. SnS2/FeS2/rGO bimetallic sulfide electrode boasts a capacity of 768.3 mA h g-1 at the current density of 0.1 A g-1, and 541.2 mA h g-1 at the current density of 1 A g-1 in sodium-ion batteries, which is superior to that of either single metal sulfide SnS2 or FeS2. TDOS calculation further confirms that the binding of FeS2/SnS2-Na is more stable than FeS2 and SnS2 alone. The superior electrochemical performance of the SnS2/FeS2/rGO composite material makes it a promising candidate for sodium storage.

Abstract
Selenium-sulfur solid solutions (Se1-x S x ) are considered to be a new class of promising cathodic materials for high-performance rechargeable lithium batteries owing to their superior electric conductivity than S and higher theoretical specific capacity than Se. In this work, high-performance Li-Se1-x S x batteries employed freestanding cathodes by encapsulating Se1-x S x in a N-doped carbon framework with three-dimensional (3D) interconnected porous structure (NC@SWCNTs) are proposed. Se1-x S x is uniformly dispersed in 3D porous carbon matrix with the assistance of supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) technique. Impressively, NC@SWCNTs host not only provides spatial confinement for Se1-x S x and efficient physical/chemical adsorption of intermediates, but also offers a highly conductive framework to facilitate ion/electron transport. More importantly, the Se/S ratio of Se1-x S x plays an important role on the electrochemical performance of Li- Se1-x S x batteries. Benefiting from the rationally designed structure and chemical composition, NC@SWCNTs@Se0.2S0.8 cathode exhibits excellent cyclic stability (632 mA h g-1 at 200 cycle at 0.2 A g-1) and superior rate capability (415 mA h g-1 at 2.0 A g-1) in carbonate-based electrolyte. This novel NC@SWCNTs@Se0.2S0.8 cathode not only introduces a new strategy to design high-performance cathodes, but also provides a new approach to fabricate freestanding cathodes towards practical applications of high-energy-density rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Sulfur (S) and selenium (Se) have been considered as promising high capacity cathode materials for rechargeable batteries. They have differences in their physical properties (e.g., electronic conductivity) but the same number of electrons in their outermost shells, which leads to similarity in their electrochemical behavior in batteries. In recent years, some efforts have been taken to combine them in electrodes in the hope of improved battery performance. The S-Se bonds of these electrode materials lead to unusual properties and intriguing electrochemical behavior, which have attracted increasing interest. In this Minireview, electrode materials containing S-Se bonds are summarized, including inorganic Sx Sey solid solutions, organic compounds, and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Our understanding in these materials is still premature, but they have shown unique properties to be electrode materials. We hope this Minireview could provide a new insight into the design, synthesis, and understanding of these materials, which could enable high energy density rechargeable batteries.
