Semiconducting Zn<sub><i>x</i></sub>Mo<sub>3</sub>S<sub>13</sub>-GO Chalcocarbogel: A High-Capacity and Stable Sulfur-Equivalent Conversion-Based Electrode for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lithium–sulfur batteries with a sulfur electrode offer a theoretical capacity of ∼1672 mAh g –1, but rapid capacity loss mainly constrains their practical application. This work introduces a semiconducting and amorphous Zn x Mo 3 S 13 -GO ( x = 0.5) chalcocarbogel sulfur-equivalent electrode with superior capacity and stability for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The Zn x Mo 3 S 13 -GO is synthesized in solution under ambient conditions, and its local structure contains S–S, M-Q (M = Mo, Zn; Q = S, O), C–S, and Mo–Mo bonding motifs with Mo coordination environment closely related to Mo 3 S 13 anions, as determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray scattering, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The Li/Zn x Mo 3 S 13 -GO cell offers an initial discharge capacity of 1019 mAh g –1 at a rate of C/3. After the activation cycles, the Li/Zn x Mo 3 S 13 -GO cell demonstrates good cycling stability, retaining a discharge capacity of 519.4 mAh g –1 after 250 cycles with ∼99.98% Coulombic efficiency and excellent rate capabilities. Moreover, it provides an initial discharge capacity of ∼574 mAh g –1 and maintains a retention capacity of 279 mAh g –1 at 1C after 625 cycles. The Lewis acidic Zn 2+ ion enhances the Lewis basic polysulfide anchoring ability and reduces the dissolution of polysulfides produced during the redox process through Zn–S covalent interaction, while the semiconducting and amorphous structure of the chalcocarbogel increases the electrical and ionic conductivity. This work highlights chalcocarbogels’ potential for developing high-capacity and stable electrodes for LIBs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
