Rational Regulation of Electron-Deficient Cobalt Centers via p-π Conjugation for High-Performance Li-S Batteries

【Research Background】 Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered one of the most promising new secondary battery systems due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, their practical application is limited by challenges such as the shuttling effect caused by soluble polysulfides (LiPSs) and the kinetic hysteresis of the sulfur reduction reaction … Read more
