Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted many attentions due to their high energy density and low-cost. However, the insulation and volume change of sulfur and high solubility of polysulfides lead to the fast decay of capacity and short cycle life. In order to solve these issues, we synthesized a novel multifunctional TiO2@C composite nanofibers (TiO2@C CNs) interlayer by electrospinning technique and subsequent heat treatment. It can significantly improve the specific capacity and long cycling stability of Li-S batteries, attributed to the effective restriction of “shuttle effect” and high reutilization of trapped active materials. Using TiO2@C CNs as a multifunctional interlayer, the BP2000/sulfur cathode with a high sulfur content (70 wt %) shows an initial capacity of 852 mAh g−1 at a high current rate of 4C and cycled over 2000 cycles with a fade rate of only 0.028% per cycle. The combination of metal oxides and carbon materials is facile and feasible way to archive high performance Li-S batteries.
