摘要
Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)have attracted widespread attention due to their high theoretical energy density.However,the dissolution of long-chain polysulfides into the electrolyte(the“shuttle effect”)leads to rapid capacity decay.Therefore,finding suitable materials to mitigate the shuttle effect of polysulfides is crucial for enhancing the electrochemical performance of lithium-sulfur batteries.In this study,LSBs’separator is modified with Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)nanoparticles@carboxylated carbon nanotubes(Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)@CNTs)composite.There are abundant oxygen vacancies in Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)@CNTs composite which plays a synergistic effect on shuttle effect.The Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)can tightly anchor soluble polysulfides through oxygen vacancies,while the CNTs not only facilitate the transport of ions and electrons but also weaken the migration of polysulfides,limiting shuttle effect.As a result,the cycling stability of LSBs using Ni_(3)V_(2)O_(8)@CNTs-modified separator has been significantly improved(with a capacity decay rate of only 0.0334%after 1500 cycles at 4.0C).This study proposes a strategy to design modified separator for high-performance LSBs.
