A review on electronically conducting polymers for lithium-sulfur battery and lithium-selenium battery: Progress and prospects

Hengying Xiang et al.

Summary: Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries and lithium-selenium (Li-Se) batteries are seen as the next generation of high energy density electrochemical energy storage systems due to their outstanding theoretical specific capacities and high energy densities. The application of electronically conducting polymers, such as polyaniline (PANI) and polythiophene (PTh) derivatives, has significantly alleviated the issues of poor conductivity and the "shuttle effect" in Li-S/Se batteries, providing a pathway for their practical use in the short term.
