S@CNT-G-TiN multi-dimensional composite materials with above 90 wt.% sulfur content were successfully synthesized via a facile suspension deposition method. The as-prepared S@CNT-G-TiN composite materials delivered an excellent initial specific capacity of 1291 and 642 mAh/g at 0.1 C and 3 C, respectively. The S@CNT-G-TiN cathode with 7.5 mg/cm 2 sulfur loading exhibited a reversible areal capacity of 7.7 mAh/cm 2 after 100 cycles, which proved that the S@CNT-G-TiN cathode was favored for the construction of high sulfur loading Li-S batteries. The superior electrochemical performance could be attributed to the specific CNT-G-TiN host, which provide a conductive network in the electrode and suppress the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). 5 Ah Li-S pouch cell was also fabricated by using the S@CNT-G-TiN cathode, which exhibited high-energy density of 401 Wh/kg and retained a stable cycling performance with an average capacity fading of 0.2% per cycle after 50 cycles, indicating the potential applications of S@CNT-G-TiN composite materials in high-performance Li-S batteries.

Low sulfur content and inevitable polysulfide shuttle effect have always been the critical obstacle of the practical application of high-energy–density lithium sulfur batteries. Herein, a waste passiflora edulis peel derived in-situ N -doping porous carbon (PINPC) combined with three-dimensional hollow carbon cloth interlayer (3DHCI) was designed and constructed by facile simultaneous activation/carbonization. The abundant porous structure and nitrogen heteroatom doping of the PINPC not only significantly confine the soluble polysulfides through the physical and chemical adsorption, but also the high conductivity of the 3DHCI effectively accelerate the conversion reaction of polysulfides encapsulated in the unique hollow carbon skeletons. Owing to the synergetic enhancement of the PINPC and 3DHCI, the sulfur contents of the corresponding sulfur cathode composites are easily regulated from 70 wt% to 95 wt%, whilst exhibiting excellent electrochemical performances. The PINPC/S with a sulfur content of 70 wt% and 3DHCI interlayer obtains a high initial discharge capacity of 1032 mAh·g −1 and then retains 954 mAh·g −1 at 0.2 C after 200 cycles. At 2 C, a durable cycle life with capacity retention of 86% can be achieved up to 500 cycles. Even with an ultrahigh sulfur content of 95 wt%, the relatively high initial discharge capacity of 692 mAh·g −1 and capacity retention of 96 % are also achieved at 0.2 C after 200 cycles. This work offers a potential design for high-performance lithium sulfur batteries simultaneously with a high sulfur content.

Improving the sulfur content in the cathode is essential for achieving high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs). However, the complex multiinterfaces, akin to the short wooden planks that consist of the cask, severely limit the performance of ASSLSBs with high sulfur content. Since singular approaches fail to optimize these interfaces simultaneously, we propose a synergistic approach using a dual-doped sulfide solid electrolyte (Y2S3 and LiI) and an SbSn alloy sulfur host in this work. The incorporation of Y2S3 in the solid electrolyte serves to improve the electrolyte–electrolyte interfaces and enhance the ionic conductivity, while the inclusion of LiI helps stabilize the electrolyte–anode interface and suppress dendrite formation. Meanwhile, the SbSn alloy sulfur host facilitates the transfer of Li+ at the electrolyte–cathode interfaces. Consequently, the solid–solid interfaces are significantly improved, leading to impressive specific capacities in ASSLSBs with high sulfur content (>44% in the cathode composite) at room temperature (1163.5 mAh g–1) and at 60 °C (1408.7 mAh g–1) during the 50th cycle at 0.05C. This work presents a promising strategy for achieving practical high-performance ASSLSBs.

S doping is an effective strategy to improve the potassium-ion storage performance of carbon-based materials. However, due to the large atomic radius of S and poor thermal stability, it is challenging to synthesize carbon materials with high sulfur content by solid-phase transformation. In this work, we designed a multi-cavity structure that can confine the molten S during heat treatment and make it fully react, then achieving high S doping (7.6 at. %). As we known, S doping can also effectively increase the active sites of carbon materials to obtain higher capacity. In addition, through different ex/in-situ characterizations and DFT calculations , we confirmed that the S atoms can effectively expand the interlayer spacing of carbon, which facilitates the intercalation/deintercalation reaction of K + , thereby significantly improving the rate performance. Therefore, benefiting from the effect of S-doping, the sample exhibits high reversible specific capacity (401.0 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A/g) and rate performance (167.2 mAh g −1 at 5 A/g). The as-assembled K + hybrid capacitor delivers both high energy density and power density (138.5 W h kg −1 and 7692.5 W kg −1 , respectively). This work provides a new approach to design S content carbon-based materials for high performance K + storage.
