despite all these promises, three intrinsic drawbacks need to be resolved before fulfilling the promise of the market potential.First, the most stable but electronically insulating S 8 (≈10 −14 S cm −2 ) with cyclic configuration is used as the starting material in Li-S cathode, significantly limiting the full utilization of the active materials to reach the theoretical capacity. Therefore, it is the first priority to design the cathode that ensures the maximum usage of the starting materials, which sets the upper limit of the capacity performance. Second, the muti-step reduction process releases highly soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) intermediates (Li 2 S x , where x = 4-8) into the organic electrolyte. [6] Unlike the batteries based on ion-insertion mechanism, [7,8] Li-S battery possesses unique and complex electrochemical/chemical processes during operation. During galvanostatic discharge process, two distinct plateaus can be verified at about 2.4 and 2.1 V in the voltage profile, corresponding to the reduction of sulfur into long-chain polysulfides and subsequent reaction from short-chain polysulfides to Li 2 S, respectively. [9] Further investigations about the reaction mechanism of Li-S battery based on experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the existence of various intermediates during electrochemical processes, indicating much more complex battery chemistry compared to the simple stepwise reaction model. [10,11] As a result, the soluble intermediates can diffuse through the polymeric separator to the anode surface, causing the loss of active materials and degradation of anode. Third, the density difference between the starting material (sulfur, 2.07 g cm −3 ) and discharge product (Li 2 S, 1.66 g cm −3 ) causes significant volumetric change during continuous cycling, damaging the integrity of the cathode structure and leading to serious capacity fading. [12] Besides above problems concerning the cathode side of the Li-S battery, other issues arose on the anode side, such as the unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), surface passivation, and uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth. [13][14][15] Stemmed from the basic problems mentioned above from the very beginning of the designed Li-S battery systems, various derivative problems were gradually unraveled during persistent efforts for improving the battery performance to approach the ultimate goal for commercialization. In the past decade, fundamental studies about Li-S battery were carried in laboratories all over the world, and it gradually put the puzzle together while brought promising performance improvement. [11,[16][17][18][19][20] However, to date, most of the lab-scale progresses have been based on batteries with sulfur loading lower than 2 mg cm −2 , Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, due to the high theoretical energy density, are regarded as one of the most promising candidates for breaking the limitations of energy-storage system based on Li-ion batteries. Tremendous efforts have been made to meet the challenge of high-performan...
