The lithium–sulfur battery (Li–S battery) is a type of rechargeable battery. It is notable for its high specific energy. The low atomic weight of lithium and moderate atomic weight of sulfur means that Li–S batteries are relatively light (about the density of water).
However, its defect is that the stability of lithium metal with the sulfide electrolyte, so it usually uses lithium indium alloy anode, which will reduce the output voltage of the battery. In turn, the specific energy of the battery is reduced.
It is notable for its high specific energy. The low atomic weight of lithium and moderate atomic weight of sulfur means that Li–S batteries are relatively light (about the density of water). They were used on the longest and highest-altitude unmanned solar-powered aeroplane flight (at the time) by Zephyr 6 in August 2008.
In this work, Zhang Huigang’s team reported how to design a highly efficient catalyst for lithium-sulfur batteries by adjusting the adsorption of polysulfide ions. Through a series of 3D metal doping ZnS, the D-band center of the active site was adjusted, thus precisely regulating the adsorption capacity of the catalyst for polysulfide ions.
Since the initial and final products of lithium-sulfur batteries are solid, it is easy to passivate catalyst sites. It provides a rational understanding for the rational design of lithium sulfur battery. The developed Co 0.125 Zn 0.875 S showed higher catalytic activity than simple binary compounds.
The root cause of the volcanic law is that excessive adsorption inhibits the desorption of products. Since the initial and final products of lithium-sulfur batteries are solid, it is easy to passivate catalyst sites. It provides a rational understanding for the rational design of lithium sulfur battery.
