摘要

Lithium-sulfur batteries offer high theoretical energy density (2567 Wh kg−1) but suffer from the polysulfide shuttle effect. This study introduces a high-entropy ceramic, Li0.3(Mg0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2)0.85O (LMCNCZO), synthesized via sol–gel and calcination and employed as a functional separator coating. Benefiting from its multi-element synergistic effect, the LMCNCZO coating, positioned adjacent to the cathode side, effectively immobilizes polysulfides through combined physical confinement and strong chemical interactions. The modified separator assembled cells deliver improved capacity of 991 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles (0.2 C) and exhibit minimal capacity fade over 500 and 1000 cycles at 1 C (0.1%) and 2 C (0.05%), respectively, along with reduced polarization and improved redox kinetics.
