摘要:The shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and the slow kinetics of sulfur redox reactions severely hinder the commercialization of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. In this study, 2,6-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DHAQ) is absorbed onto the surface of carbon materials through it-it interactions to facilitate the adsorption and catalytic conversion of LiPSs. Electrostatic potential (ESP) results indicate that introducing hydroxyl groups into the molecule enhances the carbonyl group's ability to adsorb LiPSs and thereby facilitates the formation of covalent Li-O bonds for their immobilization. The interaction between DHAQ and LiPSs results in a complex with a higher energy level for the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and a lower energy level for the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). This leads to enhanced redox activity, which accelerates the kinetics of LiPSs conversion reactions. Consequently, the S@DHAQ/C composite demonstrates a capacity decay rate of just 0.040 % per cycle after 600 cycles at 1 C. At a sulfur loading of 5 mg cm-- 2 , it retains an initial discharge specific capacity of 643 mAh g- 1 at 0.2 C. This work introduces a novel approach to improving polysulfide adsorption capacity through organic molecules while also accelerating the kinetics of redox reactions.
