Phosphorene: a Potential 2D Material for Highly Efficient Polysulfide Trapping and Conversion

Abstract

Effectively trapping lithium polysulfide species and accelerating the reaction conversion kinetics are the main strategies to improve the performance of lithium-sulfur(Li-S) batteries. Since the researchers found in 2014 that two-dimensional(2D) phosphorene nanosheets could be exfoliated from the bulk black phosphorus, numerous researches have been devoted to exploring the phosphorene with unique properties for the application in Li-S batteries. In this review, we summarize the recent theoretical and experimental progress of phosphorene for Li-S batteries. Besides, we also introduce the relationship between the interfacial interaction on phosphorene and the performance enhancement of Li-S batteries. Furthermore, future challenges and remaining opportunities for phosphorene in Li-S batteries are finally discussed.
