Owing to the advantages of high energy density, low cost, abundant sulfur reserves and environmentally friendly nature, lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) were considered as one of the potential candidates of energy storage devices for the next generation. However, the significant challenges in this area stem from the sluggish reaction kinetics of the insoluble Li₂S product and the capacity degradation triggered by the severe shuttle effect of polysulfides. It has been firmly established through numerous studies that modifying separators is an effective approach to enhance the properties of LSBs by facilitating the catalytic kinetic conversion and chemical adsorption of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). In this work, we report a straightforward method for fabrication of the phosphorus doped porous CeO₂ (P-CeO₂) as separator modifier to accelerate the catalytic kinetic conversion of polysulfides and effectively inhibit the shuttle effect in LSBs. Through coin batteries tests, P-CeO₂ modified PP separator (P-CeO₂//PP) exhibits remarkable electrochemical performance. It demonstrates a high initial capacity of 1180 mAh/g at 0.5 C, surpassing the performance of the bare CeO₂//PP separator. Furthermore, the P-CeO₂//PP separator demonstrates enhanced cycling stability, with a low-capacity fading rate of only 0.048% per cycle over 1000 cycles at 2 C. In compared with bare CeO₂//PP, P-CeO₂//PP exhibits high redox peak current, enhanced adsorption property of Li₂S₆ and early Li₂S precipitation. These results highlight the superior performance of the P-CeO₂//PP separator compared to the bare CeO₂//PP separator. Hence, this research presents a successful strategy for the modification of LIBs separator with improved electrochemical performance and cycle stability.
