摘要
As the persistent concerns regarding sluggish reaction kinetics and insufficient conductivities of sulfur cathodes in all-solid-state Li-S batteries(ASSLSBs),numerous carbon additives and solid-state electrolytes(SSEs)have been incorporated into the cathode to facilitate ion/electron pathways around sulfur.However,this has resulted in a reduced capacity and decomposition of SSEs.Therefore,it is worth exploring neotype sulfur hosts with electronic/ionic conductivity in the cathode.Herein,we present a hybrid cathode composed of few-layered S/MoS_(2)/C nanosheets(<5 layers)that exhibits high-loading and long-life performance without the need of additional carbon additives in advanced ASSLSBs.The multifunctional MoS_(2)/C host exposes the abundant surface for intimate contacting sites,in situ-formed LixMoS_(2)during discharging as mixed ion/electron conductive network improves the S/Li2S conversion,and contributes extra capacity for the part of active materials.With a high active material content(S+MoS_(2)/C)of 60 wt%in the S/MoS_(2)/C/Li_(6)PS_(5)Cl cathode composite(the carbon content is only~3.97 wt%),the S/MoS_(2)/C electrode delivers excellent electrochemical performance,with a high reversible discharge capacity of 980.3 mAh g^(-1)(588.2 mAh g^(-1)based on the whole cathode weight)after 100 cycles at 100 mA g^(-1).The stable cycling performance is observed over 3500 cycles with a Coulombic efficiency of 98.5%at 600 mA g^(-1),while a high areal capacity of 10.4 mAh cm^(-2)is achieved with active material loading of 12.8 mg cm^(-2).
