Abstract

The applications of lithium (Li)–sulfur (S) batteries are simultaneously hampered by the unlimited dendritic Li growth and the sluggish redox kinetics of polysulfides (LiPSs). In this work, an electronic state‐modulated Ni4N/Zn3N2 heterogeneous nanosheet arrays is painstakingly fabricated on the surface of carbon cloth (CC@Ni4N/Zn3N2) as an efficient bi‐service host to promote uniform Li deposition and boost efficient LiPSs catalysis. It is found that the electronic structure of Ni4N/Zn3N2 heterostructure is modulated to realize a rational transition metal d‐band center, and its built‐in electric field (BIEF) within the heterointerfaces facilitates the interfacial charge transfer, resulting in low Li deposition/migration energy barrier and efficient LiPSs adsorption/catalytic conversion kinetics. As a result, the as‐prepared CC@Ni4N/Zn3N2‐Li anode can enable the Li. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
