Engineering Cooperative Catalysis in Li-S Batteries

Jinlei Qin et al.

Summary: Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are seen as promising next-generation batteries due to their high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, the electrochemistry of aprotic S is hindered by the shuttling effect and slow conversion of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Various electrocatalysts have been developed to improve the conversion kinetics of LiPSs, with heteroatom doping and polar catalyst incorporation playing an important role in overcoming these limitations.
