based on the plethora of investigations done in the literature on electrolyte instabilities. In addition, approaches like AIRSS (ab initio random structure searching) could be explored to predict new electrolytes with structures that go beyond those currently known. One cannot truly begin to explore the electrolyte frontier until one knows, documents, and understands the past.

A novel approach to effectively suppress the “polysulfide shuttle” in Li–S batteries is presented by designing a freestanding, three-dimensional graphene/1T MoS2 (3DG/TM) heterostructure with highly efficient electrocatalysis properties for lithium polysulfides (LiPSs).
