摘要：

Many problems associated with Li–S and Na–S   batteries essentially root in the generation of their soluble polysulfide intermediates. While conventional wisdom mainly focuses on trapping polysulfides at the cathode using various functional materials, few   strategies are available at present to fully resolve or circumvent this long-standing issue. In this study, we propose the concept of sulfur-equivalent   cathode materials, and demonstrate the great potential of amorphous MoS₃   as such a material for room-temperature Li–S and Na–S batteries. In Li–S   batteries, MoS₃ exhibits sulfur-like behavior with large   reversible specific capacity, excellent cycle life, and the possibility to   achieve high areal capacity. Most remarkably, it is also fully cyclable in   the carbonate electrolyte under a relatively high temperature of 55 °C. MoS₃   can also be used as the cathode material of even more challenging Na–S batteries   to enable decent capacity and good cycle life. Operando X-ray absorption   spectroscopy (XAS) experiments are carried out to track the structural   evolution of MoS₃. It largely preserves its chain-like structure   during repetitive battery cycling without generating any free polysulfide   intermediates.
