Summary: Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have high potential in power and energy storage due to their high capacity and energy density. However, the shuttle effect caused by the dissolution of intermediate lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) during charging and discharging leads to irreversible capacity loss, limiting practical development. Solid-phase conversion-based Li-S batteries, which prevent polysulfide shuttling, offer superior cycling stability. Direct transformation of sulfur to Li2S or suppressing polysulfide dissolution using solvating liquid electrolytes or solid-state electrolytes are the main methods of achieving solid-phase conversion. This review provides a systematic summary of structures, preparation methods, advantages, and disadvantages of solid-phase conversion, as well as an analysis of its impact on battery performance. The review also discusses the challenges and future direction of practical development for solid-phase conversion-based Li-S batteries.

Summary: Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) is a type of sulfur-bonded polymer that exhibits stable cycles in lithium-sulfur batteries. However, its exact molecular structure and electrochemical reaction mechanism are still unclear. In this study, using a SPAN thin film platform and various analytical tools, it was found that the capacity loss of SPAN is associated with intramolecular dehydrogenation and the loss of sulfur, resulting in an increase in aromaticity and electronic conductivity. The presence of a conductive carbon additive in the cathode promotes the completion of the reaction. A synthesis procedure was developed based on the proposed mechanism to reduce the irreversible capacity loss by more than 50%. These findings provide insights for the design of high-performance sulfurized polymer cathode materials.

Summary: This study proposes a unique Mott-Schottky heterostructure-based modification method for separators in order to overcome the limitations of low sulfur usage, strong shuttle effect, and dilatory redox processes in lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). The modified separator, consisting of Bi2MoO6-PPy nanosheets, significantly reduces the energy barrier on polysulfides through strong adsorption, high catalytic activity, and built-in electric field. The battery assembled with this modified separator exhibits excellent cycling stability and maintains a high areal capacity even at a high sulfur loading.

Summary: We designed and synthesized a porous organic polymer (POP) with a conjugated and hierarchical structure, which exhibited excellent electrochemical properties as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Through combined experiments and theoretical computation, we revealed the Na-storage mechanism and dynamic evolution processes of the POP, including a 12-electron reaction process with Na and stable composition and structure evolution during repeating sodiation/de-sodiation processes. This quantitative design for ultrafast and highly durable sodium storage in the POP could benefit the rational design of organic electrode materials with ideal electrochemical properties.

Summary: The integrity of CEI is closely related to the sulfur content and electrolyte amount. When the volume of reduction product exceeds the maximal volume of the carbon host, the as-formed CEI is unable to withstand the volume variation upon repeated lithiation/delithiation, leading to decreased cycle stability.

Summary: Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) is a promising cathode material for next-generation lithium-metal batteries. However, its slow reaction kinetics due to insufficient electronic conductivity limit its practical application. In this study, we propose a freestanding fibrous SPAN (I-SPAN) with accelerated reaction kinetics achieved by iodine doping. The electrochemical tests show significantly improved charge transfer in I-SPAN, resulting in a high reversible specific capacity.
