To realize a low-carbon economy and sustainable energy supply, the development of energy storage devices has aroused intensive attention. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are regarded as one of the most promising next-generation battery devices because of their remarkable theoretical energy density, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benignity.
The lithium-ion sulfur batteries not only maintain the advantage of high energy density because of the high capacities of sulfur and lithium sulfide, but also exhibit the improved safety of the batteries due to a non-lithium-metal in the anode.
The lithium–sulfur battery (Li–S battery) is a type of rechargeable battery. It is notable for its high specific energy. The low atomic weight of lithium and moderate atomic weight of sulfur means that Li–S batteries are relatively light (about the density of water).
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative All-solid-state lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have emerged as a promising energy storage solution due to their potential high energy density, cost effectiveness and safe operation.
Lithium-sulfur batteries have received significant attention in the past few decades. Major efforts were made to overcome various challenges including the shuttle effect of polysulfides, volume expansion of cathodes, volume variation and lithium dendrite formation of Li anodes that hamper the commercialization of the energy storage systems.
Among the energy storage devices, lithium-ion batteries are supposed to be the most likely electrochemical energy storage devices for large-scale applications due to their high working voltage, low self-discharge rate and long storage life.
