Mitigation of polysulfide shuttle effect in Li-S batteries through catalytic disproportionation reaction

Key Points

• Enhanced battery performance is reported with reduced polysulfide loss, indicating effective management of the polysulfide shuttle effect.
• Measurements show a significant decrease in polysulfide accumulation and corresponding improvement in cycle life.
• Assessment using catalytic disproportionation reaction on lithium-sulfur batteries demonstrates the technique's efficacy.
• These findings suggest broader implications for advancing lithium-sulfur battery technology and enhancing energy storage solutions.
