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.
In this review, we describe the development trends of lithium-sulfur batteries (LiSBs) that use sulfur, which is an abundant non-metal and therefore suitable as an inexpensive cathode active material. The features of LiSBs are high weight energy density and low cost.
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.
In view of this, research and development are actively being conducted toward the commercialization of lithium-sulfur batteries, which do not use rare metals as the cathode active material and have high energy density; in addition, lithium and sulfur are naturally abundant.
The main components of a Li-S battery are a lithium metal anode, a sulfur-based cathode, and an electrolyte solution that facilitates the transfer of lithium ions between the two electrodes. What is the polysulfide shuttling effect, and how does it affect the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries?
The Lithium-Sulfur Battery (LiSB) is one of the alternatives receiving attention as they offer a solution for next-generation energy storage systems because of their high specific capacity (1675 mAh/g), high energy density (2600 Wh/kg) and abundance of sulfur in nature.
