Abstract

SeS2 has become a promising cathode material owing to its enhanced electrical conductivity over sulfur and higher theoretical specific capacity than selenium; however, the working Li–SeS2 batteries have to face the practical challenges from the severe shuttling of soluble dual intermediates of polysulfide and polyselenide, especially in high-SeS2-loading cathodes. Herein, a natural organic polymer, Nicandra physaloides pectin (NPP), is proposed to serve as an effective polysulfide/polyselenide captor to address the shuttling issues. Informed by theoretical calculations, NPP is competent to provide a Lewis base-based strong binding interaction with polysulfides/polyselenides via forming lithium bonds, and it can be homogeneously deposited onto a three-dimensional double-carbon conductive scaffold to finally constitute a polysulfide/polyselenide-immobilizing interlayer. Operando spectroscopy analysis validates the enhanced polysulfide/polyselenide trapping and high conversion efficiency on the constructed interlayer, hence bestowing the Li–SeS2 cells with ultrahigh rate capability (448 mAh g−1 at 10 A g−1), durable cycling lifespan (≈ 0.037% capacity attenuation rate per cycle), and high areal capacity (> 6.5 mAh cm−2) at high SeS2 loading of 15.4 mg cm−2. Importantly, pouch cells assembled with this interlayer exhibit excellent flexibility, decent rate capability with relatively low electrolyte-to-capacity ratio, and stable cycling life even under a low electrolyte condition, promising a low-cost, viable design protocol toward practical Li–SeS2 batteries.


Highlights:


1 Theoretical calculations reveal that Nicandra physaloides pectin can serve as Lewis base to realize strong interaction toward both lithium polysulfide and polyselenides.
2 Nicandra physaloides pectin is introduced into a conductive double-carbon self-supporting film to build an anchoring and regulating interlayer for Li–SeS2 batteries.
3 The Li–SeS2 pouch cells assembled with the interlayers deliver good flexibility and stability to demonstrate a viable strategy for developing working Li–SeS2 batteries.
