“…For addressing the issues above, promising sulfur hosts have been designed to construct advanced LSBs. − Because of possessing nanopores, the conductive carbon host such as the carbon nanotube, , the carbon nanorod, , carbon spheres, and graphene , can physically restrict LPSs from escaping to the electrolyte. However, the stability of these carbon-based sulfur electrodes decays obviously during long-term cycling, mainly resulting from friable interactions between polar LPSs and nonpolar carbon. − Therefore, various polar materials such as metal oxides, − metal sulfides, − metal nitrides, metal carbides, , and heteroatoms ,, have been introduced into carbon materials to overcome the mentioned problems and improve the cycling stability based on their strong interaction with LPSs. Thus, combining the anchoring effects of these polar materials and the conductivity of carbon materials, the polysulfides can be fixed and reduced efficiently, resulting in high sulfur utilization.…”
