摘要
• New CoP/HCS hollow carbon nanospheres were prepared and utilized as efficient cathodes in Lithium-ion battery. • CoP/HCS as efficient adsorbent and catalyst was employed as host for Li-S battery. • CoP/HCS@S delivered a high energy density of 685.6 mAh g −1 at 3C. • CoP/HCS provides potential to largescale commercial applications of Li-S battery. The commercial viability of Li-S batteries was obstructed by short cycle life and poor capability owing to slow redox kinetics and polysulfide shuttle effect. To tackle these challenges, the amorphous CoP anchored on N -doped carbon nanospheres with hollow porous structures (CoP/HCS) has been synthesized as a superior sulfur host via a facial pyrolysis approach. The debilitating effect would be hampered during the cycling processing resulting from two reasons:(1) the powerful chemical anchoring between unsaturated Co and Li-polysulfides, (2) the remarkable adaption of volume variation originating from the hollow porous architectures. The amorphous CoP nanoparticles not only catalyze the transformation of lithium polysulfides as electrocatalyst, but also acquired a high sulfur loading as sulfur host materials. More importantly, the synergistic incorporation of CoP and HCS improved the inherit low conductivity by anchoring on the N -doped carbon hollow, thus leading to excellent performance for Li-S batteries. Benefiting from these advantages, the amorphous CoP/HCS-based sulfur electrodes exhibited outstanding rate performance (685.6 mAh g −1 at 3C), excellent long-cycling stability with a low capacity decay of only 0.03% per cycle over 1000 cycles at 2C, and a high areal capacity of 5.16 mAh cm −2 under high sulfur loading.
