Abstract:	The sluggish transition and shuttle of polysulfides (LiPS) significantly hinder the application and commercialization of Li−S batteries. Herein, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) supported 10 nm sized iron Hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (FePcF/CNTs) are prepared using a solid synthesis approach. The well-exposed FePcF molecular improve the LiPS capture efficiency and redox kinetics by its central Fe−N units and F functional groups. The strong electron withdraw F groups significantly promote the conjugate effect and decrease the steric hindrance during mass migration procedure. Distribution of relaxation time (DRT) analysis shows that the Fe−N units exhibit strong affinity towards LiPS and the F groups further improve the Li diffusion rate in LiS nucleation and oxidation procedure, accomplishing a porous surface on cathode. As a result, the FePcF/CNTs separator exhibits a high initial capacity of 1136. 2 mAh g at 0. 2 C, outstanding rate capacity of 624. 9 mAh g at 5 C and superior long-term stability at 2 C surviving 300 cycles with a low capacity decay of 0. 43 ‰ per cycle.
