ABSTRACT
It is generally accepted that the low-temperature environment typically augments electrolyte viscosity and impedes electrochemical kinetics, thereby diminishing battery performance. However, this prevailing notion, while valid in certain contexts, lacks universality, particularly regarding cycling stability. In this context, the Na-MoS2 batteries serve as a model to elucidate the impacts of low temperatures. By significantly suppressing the pulverization and amorphization of MoS2, the low-temperature milieu effectively mitigates the risk of micro-short circuits induced by the mass shuttling to the Na metal anode, thereby averting performance degradation by self-discharge. Upon cycling, the generated NaxMo3S4 intermediates only at low temperatures benefit the structural and electrochemical stabilizations to counteract the intrinsic performance degradation. The attenuation of kinetics at low temperatures facilitates the accumulation of Na2S, akin to a sustained-release agent within the electrode, steadily furnishing the capacity in long cycling. Moreover, the suppression of polysulfide dissolution and shuttling emerges as a pivotal factor contributing to the cycling stability at low-temperature. These findings provide a rewarding avenue toward understanding of the influence of low temperature on battery performance, as well as the design of practical electrodes and batteries for low-temperature applications.
