a Comparison of polysulfide adsorption ability of CNTs@TiN–TiO2-2, CNTs@TiN–TiO2-5, and CNTs@TiN–TiO2-10 by immersing these hybrids into the Li2S6 solution (0.005 M). XPS spectra of b Ti 2p and c N 1s in CNTs@TiN–TiO2-5 before and after polysulfide adsorption. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
