摘要
Developing effective heterostructure strategies to mitigate the shuttling effect and accelerate lithium polysulfide(Li PS)conversion remains a critical challenge in lithium–sulfur(Li–S)batteries.Here,we report the first carbon–free VO_(2)–VS_(2)heterostructure material synthesized via in situ sulfurization,applied as a modifier on a commercial polypropylene(PP)separator(denoted as VO_(2)–VS_(2)@PP).The as–prepared VO_(2)–VS_(2)nanorods synergistically combine the high absorptivity of VO_(2)with the efficient catalytic properties of VS_(2),simultaneously enhancing Li PS anchoring and promoting its conversion.We systematically investigate the influence of material composition on battery performance,leveraging these functional attributes,Li–S cells incorporating VO_(2)–VS_(2)@PP exhibit exceptional cycle stability(over 500cycles at 1C),impressive rate performance(807 m Ah.g^(–1)at 5C),desirable reversibility(49.9%capacity retention after 300 cycles at 5C)and exceptional pouch cell performance(3.65 m Ah.cm^(–2)after 50 stable cycles at 0.1C).This study underscores the potential of tailored heterostructures in realizing high–performance Li–S batteries,offering new insights for next–generation energy storage solutions.
