The possibility of achieving high-energy, long-life storage batteries has tremendous scientific and technological significance. An example is the Li-S cell, which can offer a 3-5-fold increase in energy density compared with conventional Li-ion cells, at lower cost. Despite significant advances, there are challenges to its wide-scale implementation, which include dissolution of intermediate polysulphide reaction species into the electrolyte. Here we report a new concept to mitigate the problem, which relies on the design principles of drug delivery. Our strategy employs absorption of the intermediate polysulphides by a porous silica embedded within the carbon-sulphur composite that not only absorbs the polysulphides by means of weak binding, but also permits reversible desorption and release. It functions as an internal polysulphide reservoir during the reversible electrochemical process to give rise to long-term stabilization and improved coulombic efficiency. The reservoir mechanism is general and applicable to Li/S cathodes of any nature.
