Can borides be used in lithium-sulfur batteries?
The results of high-efficiency lithium-sulfur batteries using ZrB 2 /NG composite materials as host showshigh application for Li-S batteries and will sheds a fresh light on the design of borides as sulfur host materials, moreover, further advances the application of transition metal borides.
Does ZrB2 have good electrical conductivity?
The boron atomic layer structure similar to the graphite structure and the outer electronic structure of zirconium determines thatZrB2 has good electrical conductivity. Moreover, the superficial unsaturated coordination number of Zr atoms (Fig. 1 f) that suggests ZrB 2 owns a high affinity with the polarized polysulfides.
Why does ZrB 2 have a high initial discharge capacity?
The high initial discharge capacity can be attributed to theultra-high conductivity and anchoring capability of ZrB 2, which can greatly improve the utilization of sulfur.
Why does the ZrB 2/ng/s electrode have a low Coulomb efficiency?
The ZrB 2/NG/S electrode still shows a significant charging and discharging curves after more than cycles, and the fluctuation and decrease of Coulomb efficiency can be attributed to theelectrolyte consumption at such a large rate.
