Abstract

Lithium-sulfur batteries face significant challenges due to the dissolution of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), commonly known as the shuttle effect, which leads to a loss in charge capacity. This study uses density functional theory (DFT) calculations, with van der Waals corrections, to investigate the polysulfide anchoring potential of a boron-doped germanene monolayer (B-2DGe). The results show that the adsorption energies of LiPSs on B-2DGe range from 1.46 to 3.39 eV. Furthermore, all LiPSs on B-2DGe exhibit conductive behavior. These findings suggest that B-2DGe, as a LiPS substrate, reduces the shuttle effect and prevents polysulfide agglomeration at electrodes, improving the performance of Li-S batteries.

掺杂锗烯作为锂多硫化物的锚定材料用于锂-S 电池：DFT 研究

由于锂多硫化物（LiPSs）的溶解（通常称为穿梭效应）会导致电荷容量的损失，因此锂硫电池面临着巨大的挑战。本研究利用密度泛函理论（DFT）计算和范德华修正，研究了掺硼锗烯单层（B-2DGe）的多硫化物锚定势。结果表明，B-2DGe 上的锂多硫化物吸附能介于 1.46 至 3.39 eV 之间。此外，B-2DGe 上的所有锂离子电池都表现出导电性。这些研究结果表明，B-2DGe 作为锂离子电池基底可减少穿梭效应，防止多硫化物在电极上聚集，从而提高锂离子电池的性能。
