Application and research of three-dimensional composite fiber interlayer in lithium-sulfur battery

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are regarded to be the most probable‌ electrochemical energy storage devices for large-scale applications because of their high energy and green characteristics. Nevertheless, the polysulfides generated during the cycle of Li-S batteries can cause the "shuttle effect", reducing the utilization rate of sulfur (S) and electrochemical performance. In this study, a novel three-dimensional composite fiber (TDCF) interlayer was prepared and placed between the S cathode and the PP separator to adsorb polysulfide and restrain the "shuttle effect". The results show that the capacity retention rate of Li-S battery is still higher 3:50 ratio, 200 ml of anhydrous ethanol was added to moisten, than 70 % after 200 charge-discharge cycles at 1 C.
