Unique Reversible Conversion-Type Mechanism Enhanced Cathode Performance in Amorphous Molybdenum Polysulfide
2017
A unique reversible conversion-type mechanism is reported in the amorphous molybdenum polysulfide (a-MoS5.7) cathode material. The lithiation products of metallic Mo and Li2S2 rather than Mo and Li2S species have been detected. This process could yield a high discharge capacity of 746 mAh g–1. Characterizations of the recovered molybdenum polysulfide after the delithiaiton process manifests the high reversibility of the unique conversion reaction, in contrast with the general irreversibility of the conventional conversion-type mechanism. As a result, the a-MoS5.7 electrodes deliver high cycling stability with an energy-density retention of 1166 Wh kg–1 after 100 cycles. These results provide a novel model for the design of high-capacity and long-life electrode materials.
