Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are considered to be the most promising energy storage system due to their high specific capacity and energy density. In order to solve the problem that soluble polysulfide intermediates diffuse between cathode and anode during charging and discharging, which leads to rapid attenuation of battery cycle life, the separator modification materials come into people’s sight. Herein, a material that blends Ni2+ with ZIF-8 bimetal (Ni-ZIF-8-C) is synthesized and directly coated on the original separator for LSBs. Due to their versatility and modification, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been explored as templates and precursors for various elementally doped carbon materials for a wide range of applications in electrochemistry. In this study, Ni and Zn co-doped porous carbon was obtained using bimetallic ZIF-8 as template and precursor. Ni and Zn enable rapid absorption of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Therefore, the lithium-sulfur battery with Ni-ZIF-8-C separator has high specific discharge capacity and cycling performance.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
