In this review, we describe the development trends of lithium-sulfur batteries (LiSBs) that use sulfur, which is an abundant non-metal and therefore suitable as an inexpensive cathode active material. The features of LiSBs are high weight energy density and low cost.
Sulfur cathode materials have the advantages of high specific capacity, abundant resources and friendly to environment. Therefore, the Li-S batteries with sulfur as cathode are promising systems with high energy density and broad market development space.
As one of the most promising candidates for energy storage systems, lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries (LSBs) stand out due to their high theoretical energy density of 2600 Wh kg −1 and 2800 Wh L −1. Moreover, sulfur is a naturally abundant, low-cost, and environmentally friendly by-product of the petroleum , , .
One of the most promising battery systems that can fulfill the requirement is the lithium-sulfur (Li−S) battery. The theoretical specific energy of Li−S batteries is 2600 Wh kg −1, which is about five times higher than the current standard (430–570 Wh kg −1) for LIBs such as LiC 6 −LiCoO 2. 2 Besides, sulfur is abundant, affordable, and non-toxic.
Sulfur was first studied as a cathode material for batteries in 1962 due to its promising potential [ 54 ]. However, research has temporarily slowed down with the rise of LIBs, which have more stable battery characteristics that have been developed since 1990.
Afterward, we summarize the most recent studies of cathode, electrolyte, lithium anode, and other constituent parts of Li-S batteries separately, mainly including their current advances, corresponding working mechanisms, and limitations.
