Lithium Trithiocarbonate as a Dual-Function Electrode Material for High-Performance Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Hyunki Sul et al.

Summary: This study uses Li2CS3-coated Li2S as a dual-function cathode material to improve the cycling performance of Li-S batteries. Li2CS3 forms an oligomer-structured layer on the cathode surface to suppress polysulfide shuttle, while a stable solid electrolyte interphase layer is formed on the anode to enhance lithium plating/stripping performance. The resulting full cells with Li2CS3 exhibit superior capacity retention over 125 cycles.
