Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are strongly considered as the next-generation rechargeable cells. However, both the shuttle of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and sluggish kinetics in random deposition of lithium sulfides (Li2S) significantly degrade the capacity, rate performance, and cycling life of Li-S cells. Herein, bifunctional Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-delta perovskite nanoparticles (PrNPs) are proposed as a promoter to immobilize LiPSs and guide the deposition of Li2S in a Li-S cell. The oxygen vacancy in PrNPs increases the metal reactivity to anchor LiPSs, and co-existence of lithiophilic (O) and sulfiphilic (Sr) sites in PrNP favor the dual-bonding (Li-O and Sr-S bonds) to anchor LiPSs. The high catalytic nature of PrNP facilitates the kinetics of LiPS redox reaction. The PrNP with intrinsic LiPS affinity serves as nucleation sites for Li2S deposition and guides its uniform propagation. Therefore, the bifunctional LiPS promoter in Li-S cell yields high rate performance and ultralow capacity decay rate of 0.062% (a quarter of pristine Li-S cells). The proposed strategy to immobilize LiPSs, promotes the conversion of LiPS, and regulates deposition of Li2S by an emerging perovskite promoter and is also expected to be applied in other energy conversion and storage devices based on multi-electron redox reactions.
