“…place [3,4,5]. With the advent of new characterization tools such as aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy-high angle annular dark field (STEM-HAADF) and operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), small structures that were impossible to observe before might be recognized now [6,7,8 ]. The catalytic performance of single-atom catalysts (SACs) is widely investigated in the reactions involving H2, such as hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) [9,10], oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) [11], and hydrogenation [12].…”

“…The reverse condition happens while it is charged; the sodium polysulfide decomposes into sodium and sulfur, which return to the electrodes. The operating voltage of the cell is 2.075 V at 350 °C [ 95 ]. The operating temperature range is 300 °C to 350 °C; at this temperature, the sodium, sulfur, and polysulfide exist in liquid form, and the electrodes reactivity is increased.…”

This paper reviews energy storage systems, in general, and for specific applications in low-cost micro-energy harvesting (MEH) systems, low-cost microelectronic devices, and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). With the development of electronic gadgets, low-cost microelectronic devices and WSNs, the need for an efficient, light and reliable energy storage device is increased. The current energy storage systems (ESS) have the disadvantages of self-discharging, energy density, life cycles, and cost. The ambient energy resources are the best option as an energy source, but the main challenge in harvesting energy from ambient sources is the instability of the source of energy. Due to the explosion of lithium batteries in many cases, and the pros associated with them, the design of an efficient device, which is more reliable and efficient than conventional batteries, is important. This review paper focused on the issues of the reliability and performance of electrical ESS, and, especially, discussed the technical challenges and suggested solutions for ESS (batteries, supercapacitors, and for a hybrid combination of supercapacitors and batteries) in detail. Nowadays, the main market of batteries is WSNs, but in the last decade, the world’s attention has turned toward supercapacitors as a good alternative of batteries. The main advantages of supercapacitors are their light weight, volume, greater life cycle, turbo charging/discharging, high energy density and power density, low cost, easy maintenance, and no pollution. This study reviews supercapacitors as a better alternative of batteries in low-cost electronic devices, WSNs, and MEH systems.

“…[ 118 ] It is identified that the metal atoms can lower the decomposition energy barrier of polysulfides due to higher polar–polar interactions and physical/chemical adsorption that speed up the redox kinetics of the battery. [ 119 ] In recent years, nanoclusters of various transition metals, for instance, iron, copper, vanadium, and nickel, have been reported to attenuate the dissolution of sodium polysulfides. [ 120 ] Among these, the composite with iron metal nanocluster exhibits unprecedented results with efficient immobilization of sulfur and catalytically enhanced kinetic process of soluble polysulfides.…”

The increased demand for energy has prompted users to seek alternative energy storage devices. Post‐Li‐ion battery chemistries have been considered potential contenders for the development of next‐generation battery technologies. The high specific capacity (≈1675 mAh g−1) and high natural abundance (≈953 ppm) of sulfur provide opportunities to meet the rigorous requirements of the market's demands, such as high energy density and low cost. When combined with a high capacity metal anode (e.g., Na ≈ 1165 mAh g−1, Mg ≈ 2205 mAh g−1, and Al ≈2980 mAh g−1), it leads to high energy density that can outperform the existing battery technologies, including high‐energy Li‐ion batteries. Despite the unique attributes of the sulfur‐based battery system, it remains in infancy owing to the complex reaction chemistry of sulfur cathode, and the level of complexity increases with an increase in valency of metal ions. This review summarizes the unique aspects of a sulfur cathode essential to stabilizing sulfur cathode‐based high‐energy rechargeable batteries. Furthermore, deeper insight into the electrochemical performance of various metal–sulfur‐based systems has been provided. This review may pave the path for the researchers to accelerate the development of sulfur cathode for post‐Li‐ion batteries.
