Abstract
Abstract Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery has emerged as one of the most promising next‐generation energy‐storage systems. However, the shuttle effect greatly reduces the battery cycle life and sulfur utilization, which is great deterrent to its practical use. This paper reviews the tremendous efforts that are made to find a remedy for this problem, mostly through physical or chemical confinement of the lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Intrinsically, this “confinement” has a relatively limited effect on improving the battery performance because in most cases, the LiPSs are “passively” blocked and cannot be reused. Thus, this strategy becomes less effective with a high sulfur loading and ultralong cycling. A more…
