Abstract
Despite the clear benefits of Na and S active materials, Na–S hybrid energy storage devices have yet to be exploited, and existing Na–S batteries cannot provide fast kinetics and long-term stability. Herein, we describe chemical and electronic coupling of the redox-active organosulfur moiety (−S–S–S−) with carbon nanotube (CNT) networks for high power and long cyclability of Na–organosulfur hybrid energy storage devices. The facile and reversible surface redox kinetics of organosulfur-tethered CNT is associated with a two-electron transfer toward the formation of low-order polysulfide, as confirmed by in situ and ex situ analyses. The specific capacitance of SOS-OCNT is 377 F g–1 (94% of theoretical capacitance) and 61.3% of capacitance is retained at 10 A g–1. The Na–organosulfur hybrid full cells deliver an ultrahigh power density of 13.4 kW kg–1 and high energy density of 27 Wh kg–1 over 50000 cycles.
