Problems solved by technology

However, severe shuttling of polysulfides, slow reaction kinetics, and poor electron/Li+ transport during discharge/charge cycling at high current densities lead to low effective sulfur utilization , leading to a sharp decline in capacity and a short cycle life, it is difficult to achieve the theoretical capacity (1675mAh·g-1) and energy density (2600Wh·kg-1) requirements
[0003] Confinement of polysulfides while accelerating the redox conversion kinetics of polysulfides by designing materials with high electrical conductivity and catalytic activity as sulfur supports was recently developed strategy, which anchors polysulfides through strong chemical adsorption, inhibits the shuttling of polysulfides, and reduces the activation energy of the reaction through electrocatalysis to accelerate the redox reaction kinetics; with the rapid development of sulfu...
