Nonpoisoned metal catalysts enabled by concave carbon confinement for durable sulfur conversion in batteries

A carbon confinement strategy stabilizes Co catalysts against sulfur poisoning via balanced Co 2+ /Co 0 valence. This enables a 1.5 Ah Li–S pouch cells to deliver a high energy density of 457 Wh kg −1 with only 0.32% per-cycle fade over 80 cycles.

Abstract

A carbon confinement strategy stabilizes Co catalysts against sulfur poisoning via balanced Co 2+ /Co 0 valence. This enables a 1.5 Ah Li–S pouch cells to deliver a high energy density of 457 Wh kg −1 with only 0.32% per-cycle fade over 80 cycles.
