Abstract The theoretically high‐energy‐density lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are seriously limited by the disadvantages including shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and sluggish sulfur redox kinetics, especially for most difficult solid–solid conversion Li 2 S to S. Herein, a multifunctional catalytic interlayer improve performance LSBs is tried introduce, in which Fe 1– x S/Fe 3 C nanoparticles embedded N/S dual‐doped carbon network (NSC) composed nanosheets nanotubes...

Abstract The inevitable shuttling and slow redox kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) as well the uncontrolled growth Li dendrites have strongly limited practical applications lithium‐sulfur batteries (LSBs). To address these issues, we innovatively constructed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) encapsulated Co nanoparticles in situ grown on TiN‐MXene nanosheets, denoted TiN‐MXene‐Co@CNTs, which could serve simultaneously both sulfur/Li host to kill “three birds with one stone” (1) efficiently...

Hollow and hybrid nanomaterials are excellent electrocatalysts on account of their novel electrocatalytic properties compared with homogeneous solid nanostructures. In this report, NiSe-Ni3Se2 nanostructure morphology hollow hexagonal nanodisk was synthesized in situ graphene. A series NiSe-Ni3Se2/RGO different phase constitutions nanostructures were obtained by controlling the durations solvothermal treatment. Because unique structure, nanodisks exhibited higher performance than NiSe/RGO...
