Abstract

The elaborate design of functional separators is considered as an effective and economical approach to accelerate the conversion of sulfur species and inhibit shuttling effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). This work chooses ZIF-67 and H5PW10V2O40·30H2O (PW10V2) as the precursors to construct MOF/POM composite by electrostatic interaction as the modified material of separator in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. ZIF-67 with suitable size window of micropores functions as a physical barrier to hinder polysulfides shuttling, while lithium ions can flow freely across the modified separator. Furthermore, PW10V2 presents firm chemical anchoring for LiPSs and displays excellent catalytic activity for polysulfides, which is conducive to preventing the soluble polysulfides from reaching lithium anode and kinetically facilitating sulfur redox reaction kinetics. Consequently, Li–S cells with ZIF-67/PW10V2-modified functional separators display an initial discharge capacity of 1637.6 mAh g−1 under 0.2 C. After 120 cycles, superior reversible capacities of 1054.6 mAh g−1 under 0.5 C and 802.7 mAh g−1 under 2 C can still be maintained.
