ABSTRACT
The development of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is very promising and yet faces the issues of hindered polysulfides conversion and Li dendrite growth. Different from using different materials strategies to overcome these two types of problems, here multifunctional catalytic hierarchical interfaces of Ni12 P5 -Ni2 P porous nanosheets formed by Ni2 P partially in situ converted from Ni12 P5 are proposed. The unique electronic structure in the interface endows Ni12 P5 -Ni2 P effective electrocatalysis effect toward both sulfides' reduction and oxidation through reducing Gibbs free energies, indicating a bidirectional conversion acceleration. Importantly, Ni12 P5 -Ni2 P porous nanosheets with hierarchical interfaces also reduced the Li nucleation energy barrier, and a dendrite-free Li deposition is realized during the overall Li deposition and stripping steps. To this end, Ni12 P5 -Ni2 P decorated carbon nanotube/S cathode showing a high capacity of over 1500 mAh g-1 , and a high rate capability of 8 C. Moreover, the coin full cell delivered a high capacity of 1345 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and the pouch full cell delivered a high capacity of 1114 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C with high electrochemical stability during 180° bending. This work inspires the exploration of hierarchical structures of 2D materials with catalytically active interfaces to improve the electrochemistry of Li-S full battery.
