Promoting Li2S Nucleation/Dissolution Kinetics via Multiple Active Sites over TiVCrMoC3Tx Interface

Abstract Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are still limited by some issues such as polysulfides shuttle and lithium dendrites. Recently, the concept “high‐entropy” has been considered as the research hotspot and international frontier. Herein, a high entropy MXene (TiVCrMoC 3 T x , HE‐MXene) doped graphene is designed as the modified coating on commercial separators for LSBs. The HE‐MXene affords multiple metal active sites, fast Li + diffusion rate, and efficient adsorption toward polysulfide intermediates. Furthermore, strong lithophilic property is favorable for uniform Li + deposition. The combination of in situ characterizations confirms TiVCrMoC 3 T x effectively promotes the Li 2 S nucleation/dissolution kinetics, reduces the Li + diffusion barrier, and exhibits favorable lithium uniform deposition behavior. This TiVCrMoC 3 T x /G@PP provides a high‐capacity retention rate after 1000 cycles at 1 C and 2 C, with a capacity decay rate of merely 0.021% and 0.022% per cycle. Surprisingly, the cell operates at a low potential of 48 mV while maintaining at 5 mA cm −2 /5 mAh cm −2 for 4000 h. Furthermore, it still maintains a high‐capacity retention rate under a high sulfur loading of 4.8/6.4 mg cm −2 and a low E/S ratio of 8.6/7.5 µg mL −1 . This work reveals a technical roadmap for simultaneously addressing the cathode and anode challenge, thus achieving potential commercially viable LSBs.
