Herein, a novel zwitterionic covalent organic framework (ZW-COF) wrapped onto carbon nanotubes (CNTs), labeled as ZW-COF@CNT, is developed by a reversible condensation reaction of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxaldehyde (BTA) and 3,8-diamino-6-phenylphenanthridine (DPPD) with CNTs as a template and a subsequently-one-step post-synthetic grafting reaction with 1,3-propanesultone. The experimental results showed that, after loading active material sulfur, zwitterionic ZW-COF@CNT can effectively suppress the shuttle effect of the soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) in Li-S batteries, and exhibits better cycling behavior than the as-developed neutral COF@CNT. Specifically, the as-obtained ZW-COF@CNT based sulfur cathode can maintain a discharge capacity of 944 mAh/g after 100 cycles, while that of COF@CNT based sulfur cathode drops to (665 mAh/g) after 100 cycles. Moreover, the ZW-COF@CNT based sulfur cathode delivers an attractive prolonged cycling behavior with a low capacity decay rate of 0.046 per cycle at 1 C. This work sheds new light on rational selection and design of functionalized COFs based sulfur cathode in the Li-S battery. © 2022 Elsevier Inc. date: 2022 publisher: Academic Press Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85134895391&doi=10.1016%2fj.jcis.2022.07.123&partnerID=40&md5=fd0debfb2bf31c74f891eb9229626c48 id_number: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.07.123 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Colloid and Interface Science volume: 628 pagerange: 144-153 refereed: TRUE issn: 00219797 citation: Han, L. and Li, Y. and Yang, Y. and Sun, S. and Li, M. and Yue, J. and Chuah, C.Y. and Li, J.
