A Detailed Discourse on the Epistemology of Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries

Abstract

AbstractThe architecture of lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries can hold five times more charge capacity compared to Li‐ion batteries. This review emphasizes the recent research findings on the desired loading of sulfur, the electrolyte‐to‐sulfur ratio, and a detailed view of the polysulfide shuttling effect. Problems with electrolyte stability are also discussed as well as the potential remedies they provided in various systems, as Li‐S batteries have great potential to surmount these critical issues by understanding the mechanism. Future scopes of Li‐S batteries can be progressively attained by optimizing the pore structure, designing highly conductive and strong sulfur confinement systems, and thereby pairing with anode materials to explore the possibility of innovative components for commercializing Li‐S batteries.
