Abstract:
A bilayer separator based on cost-effective carbon-tungsten disulfide composite and commercial separators is developed in this work. The C-WS2 separator reduces the shuttling effect and increases the cycle life of the battery because of the excellent adsorption capability of polar WS2 to polysulfides. Furthermore, conductive carbon substantially enhances the ionic conductivity of (1 × 10-3 S cm-1). The cell with the C-WS2 separator delivers an excellent discharge capacity of 996 mA h g-1 at 1 C and retained at 416 mA h g-1 after runs over 1000 cycles with a 0.045% capacity decay per cycle. The work provides insights into high-capacity lithium-sulfur batteries with cost-effectiveness.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
