Diphenyl polysulfides: cathodes with excellent lithiation performance and high specific energy for LSBs

Abstract: Reversible lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are considered one of the most promising next-generation energy storage systems. However, the shuttling effect of lithium polysulfide significantly weakens the electrochemical properties and the cycle life, hindering its practical application. Organo-sulfides are unique materials with low cost, profuse content and high capacity. Here, via quantum chemical calculations, we introduce a class of diphenyl polysulfides, PhS n Ph (2 # n # 15), which are all structurally sta… Show more

“…The “alloy‐like” diagram [ 27,28 ] was used to analyze the thermodynamic stability of the overall structure of the two catalysts after reacting with Li 2 S n or S 8 . If a compound is above the convex envelope, it will be unstable and decompose into two nearby compounds.…”

“…[ 26 ] In addition, the static permittivity was set to ε = 7.07. In order to verify the stability of Li 2 S n after binding with NiCl 2 and NiF 2 and the possibility of further conversion, “alloy‐like” diagram [ 27,28 ] was used to analyzed the stability and possibility. The Gibbs free energy difference (Δ G ) was used to analyze the relative stability and possibility of further reactions of NiCl 2 ‐Li 2 S n and NiF 2 ‐Li 2 S n , the formation energies were defined asGform=(GNiCl2Li2normalSnn8GnormalS8GNiCl22GLi)/false(n+2false)…”
