Abstract

The development and utilization of high-performance and high-energy–density battery is indispensable to meet the ever-increasing demands in advanced energy storage system (Bruce et al. in Nat Mater 11:19–29, 2012; Ran et al. in J Mater Chem A 6:23278–23282, 2018; Zhao et al. in Electrochim Acta 254:308–319, 2017; Yan et al. in Adv Energy Mater 9:1900148, 2019; Peng et al. in Adv Energy Mater 7:1700260, 2017). Particularly, lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery is considered to be the most promising next-generation battery due to high theoretical capacity (1675 mAh g−1), high theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg−1), and low cost.
