© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are considered as one of the most promising energy storage devices owing to the high theoretical specific capacity and high theoretical specific energy, as well as natural abundance of sulfur. However, the soluble lithium polysulfide intermediates (LPSs) in electrolyte cause undesirable shuttle effect, resulting in the loss of sulfur and poor cycling stability. Herein, a novel tungsten oxide-decorated N, S co-doped carbon nanofibers (WO3@NS-CNFs) functional interlayer is applied to restrain the shuttle effect and enhance the cycling performance of LSBs. On the one hand, the uniformly distributed WO3 can provide strong chemical anchoring sites for binding the LPSs and enhance the redox reaction kinetics. On the other hand, the NS-CNFs can also serve as the polysulfide trappers and enhance the electronic conductivity of sulfur electrodes. Therefore, benefiting from the synergy effect of WO3 and NS-CNFs, the LSBs exhibit excellent cycling performance with a high initial capacity of 1444 mA h g−1 and reversible capacity of 1080 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 C, and superior rate capability of 946 mA h g−1 at 2 C.
