Abstract

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered a potential candidate for next-generation energy-dense and sustainable energy storage. However, the slow conversion and severe shuttle of polysulfides (LiPSs) result in rapid performance degradation over long-term cycling. Herein, we report a high-entropy single-atom (HE-SA) catalyst to regulate the multi-step conversion of LiPS to attain a high-performance Li-S battery. Both the density functional theory calculations and the experimental results prove that the Fe atomic site with high spin configurations strongly interacts with Li2S4 through d-p and s-p synergistic orbital hybridization which facilitates the reduction of LiPS. Moreover, S-dominant p-d hybridization between Li2S and a high-spin Mn site weakens the Li–S bond and facilitates the rapid sulfur evolution reaction. Consequently, the Li-S battery with a bifunctional HE-SA catalyst shows an ultralow capacity decay of 0.026 % per cycle over 1900 cycles at 1 C. This work proposes a high-entropy strategy for sculpting electronic structures to enable spin and orbital hybridization modulation in advanced catalysts toward long-cycling Li-S batteries.

利用高熵效应对多原子位的自旋和轨道操纵催化级联硫转化
锂硫(li -硫)电池被认为是下一代能量密集和可持续能源存储的潜在候选者。然而,在长期循环过程中,多硫化物(LiPSs)的缓慢转化和剧烈穿梭导致了性能的快速下降。在此,我们报道了一种高熵单原子(HE-SA)催化剂,用于调节LiPS的多步转化,以获得高性能Li-S电池。密度泛函数理论计算和实验结果都证明了具有高自旋构型的Fe原子位点通过d-p和s-p协同轨道杂化与Li2S4发生强相互作用,有利于lip的还原。此外,Li2S与高自旋Mn位点之间的s主导p-d杂化削弱了Li-S键,促进了硫的快速析出反应。因此,使用双功能HE-SA催化剂的Li-S电池在1℃下每循环1900次,其容量衰减率为0.026%。这项工作提出了一种高熵策略,用于塑造电子结构,以实现自旋和轨道杂化调制的高级催化剂,以实现长循环Li-S电池。
