Molybdenum disulfide/polyaniline interlayer for lithium polysulphide trapping in lithium-sulphur batteries

Regulated Li2S Deposition toward Rapid Kinetics Li‐S Batteries by a Separator Modified by CeO2‐Decorated Porous Carbon Nanostructure

“…As an essential component for a Li‐S battery, the insulating separator allows Li + to migrate through and prevents internal short‐circuiting. [ 27 ] Up to now, various materials have been applied to modify the separator so as to mitigate the shuttle effect and enhance the reaction kinetics of LiPSs such as carbon materials, [ 28 ] oxides, [ 29 ] sulfides, [ 30,31 ] COFs (covalent organic frameworks), [ 21 ] and MOFs (metal‐organic frameworks).

Nanostructured 2D WS2@PANI nanohybrids for electrochemical energy storage

“…The metastable metallic 1T phase can be alternatively produced through LPE by pre-treating the bulk crystalline material with organolithium compounds (Qian et al, 2020), but concerns about stability under prolonged operation in devices are still an open issue (Tang and Jiang, 2015;Jenjeti et al, 2021). An alternative to the use of bare 2D TMDs comes from the combination of these last ones with other (electro)active functional materials, into composite or nanohybrid (Osella et al, 2021;Versaci et al, 2022) structures. Since many years, conducting polymers represent a valuable option for this type of functional hybridization approach: they are low-cost and lightweight materials, they can be pre-synthesized or directly polymerized in-situ and they feature a wide range of convenient electronic properties, which can be exploited for energy conversion and storage applications (Sajedi-Moghaddam et al, 2017).…”

Molecular structure-controlled synthesis of sulfur-containing polymers for rechargeable Li–S batteries

“…Many types of organic polymers can be used for the preparation of sulfur-containing polymers with carbon chains as the main chains, such as polyacrylic acid (PAA), [80][81][82][83] polyacrylonitrile (PAN), [84][85][86] polypyrrole (PPy) [87][88][89][90] and polyaniline (PANI). 91,92 In this part, we discuss and analyze the molecular structure design of polysulfanes with carbon chains as the main chains by different methods.…”
