Defect-rich Zn2SnO4-x/SnO2-x heterostructure for high sulfur utilization and uniform Li+ transport toward stable Li-S full batteries

Caption

By synergistically employing heterostructure construction and defect engineering, a defect-rich Zn2SnO4-x/SnO2-x heterostructure was successfully prepared to enhance electronic conductivity and active sites for rapid and durable Li-S chemistry. The strong chemical adsorption of lithium polysulfides, fast redox kinetics and uniform Li+ transport were simultaneously confirmed by the theoretical calculations and experimental results.
