Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries show extraordinary promise as a next-generation battery technology due to their high theoretical energy density and the cost efficiency of sulfur. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics, uncontrolled growth of lithium sulfide (Li2S), and substantial Li2S oxidation barrier cause low sulfur utilization and limited cycle life. Moreover, these drawbacks get exacerbated at high current densities and high sulfur loadings. Here, a heterostructured WOx/W2C nanocatalyst synthesized via ultrafast Joule heating is reported, and the resulting heterointerfaces contribute to enhance electrocatalytic activity for Li2S oxidation, as well as controlled Li2S deposition. The densely distributed nanoparticles provide abundant binding sites for uniform deposition of Li2S. The continuous heterointerfaces favor efficient adsorption and promote charge transfer, thereby reducing the activation barrier for the delithiation of Li2S. These attributes enable Li-S cells to deliver high-rate performance and high areal capacity. This study provides insights into efficient catalyst design for Li2S oxidation under practical cell conditions.

Abstract
The "shuttle effect" and slow redox reactions of Li-S batteries limit their practical application. To solve these problems, a judicious catalyst design for improved battery cycle life and rate performance is essential. Herein, this issue is addressed by modifying the Li-S battery separator using a 2D Fe2 O3 -CoP heterostructure that combines the dual functions of polar Fe2 O3 and high-conductivity CoP. The synthesized ultrathin nanostructure exposes well-dispersed active sites and shortens the ion diffusion paths. Theoretical calculations, electrochemical tests, and in situ Raman spectroscopy measurements reveal that the heterostructure facilitates the inhibition of polysulfide shuttling and enhances the electrode kinetics. A sulfur cathode constructed using the Fe2 O3 -CoP-based separator provides an astonishing capacity of 1346 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and a high capacity retention of ≈84.5%. Even at a high sulfur loading of 5.42 mg cm-2 , it shows an area capacity of 5.90 mAh cm-2 . This study provides useful insights into the design of new catalytic materials for Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have become very promising next-generation energy-storage technologies owing to their high energy densities and cost-effectiveness. However, the poor electrical conductivity of the active material, volume changes that occur during cycling, the "shuttle effect" involving lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), and lithium dendrite growth limit their commercializability. Herein, the preparation of a CC@VS2 -VO2 @Li2 S@C electrode prepared by the in situ growth of a VS2 -VO2 heterostructure on carbon cloth (CC), loaded with Li2 S, and finally coated with a carbon shell, is reported. The cell with the CC@VS2 -VO2 @Li2 S@C cathode exhibits superior cycling stability and rate performance owing to synergy between its various components. The cell delivers a high discharge specific capacity of 919.8 mA g-1 at 0.2 C, with a capacity of 588.9 mAh g-1 retained after 500 cycles with an average capacity attenuation of 0.072% per cycle. The cell exhibits discharge capacities of 937.6, 780.2, 641.9, 541, and 462.8 mAh g-1 at current densities of 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 C, respectively. This study provides a new approach for catalyzing LiPS conversion and promoting LSB applications.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) system coupled with thin-film solid electrolyte as a novel high-energy micro-battery has enormous potential for complementing embedded energy harvesters to enable the autonomy of the Internet of Things microdevice. However, the volatility in high vacuum and intrinsic sluggish kinetics of S hinder researchers from empirically integrating it into all-solid-state thin-film batteries, leading to inexperience in fabricating all-solid-state thin-film Li-S batteries (TFLSBs). Herein, for the first time, TFLSBs have been successfully constructed by stacking vertical graphene nanosheets-Li2S (VGs-Li2S) composite thin-film cathode, lithium-phosphorous-oxynitride (LiPON) thin-film solid electrolyte, and Li metal anode. Fundamentally eliminating Li-polysulfide shuttle effect and maintaining a stable VGs-Li2S/LiPON interface upon prolonged cycles have been well identified by employing the solid-state Li-S system with an "unlimited Li" reservoir, which exhibits excellent long-term cycling stability with a capacity retention of 81% for 3,000 cycles, and an exceptional high temperature tolerance up to 60 °C. More impressively, VGs-Li2S-based TFLSBs with evaporated-Li thin-film anode also demonstrate outstanding cycling performance over 500 cycles with a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.71%. Collectively, this study presents a new development strategy for secure and high-performance rechargeable all-solid-state thin-film batteries.

Abstract
The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is considered as one of the most promising options because the redox couple has almost the highest theoretical specific energy (2600 Wh kg-1 ) among all solid anode-cathode candidates for rechargeable batteries. The "solid-liquid-solid" mechanism has become a dominating phase transformation process since it was first reported, although this cathode mode suffers from a tough "shuttle" phenomenon due to the dissolution of the soluble intermediate polysulfides generated during the charging-discharging process, which causes rapid loss of energy-bearing material and shortened lifespan. For decades, tremendous efforts have been made to restrict the shuttle effect. Changing sulfur conversion to "solid-solid" mode or "quasi-solid" mode, which successfully exceed the limit of the dissolution of the intermediates, and may address the root of the problem. In this review, the main focus is on the fundamental chemistry of the "solid-solid" and "quasi-solid" phase transformation of the sulfur cathode. First, the strategies of sulfur immobilization in "solid-liquid-solid" multi-phase conversions as well as the pivotal influence factors for the electrochemical conversion process are briefly introduced. Then, the different routes are summarized to realize the "solid-solid" and "quasi-solid" redox mechanisms. Finally, a perspectives on building high-energy-density Li-S batteries are provided.

Abstract
The improvement of lithium-sulfur batteries is still impeded by notorious shuttling effect and sluggish kinetics on the S cathode, and rampant Li dendrite formation on the Li anode makes it worse. Herein, a type of single-atom dispersed Mo on nitrogen-doped graphene (Mo/NG) with a distinctive Mo-N2 O2 -C coordination structure first serving as a multifunctional material is designed by a structure-oriented strategy to solve Li and S electrochemistry. Mo/NG with superior intrinsic properties endowed by the unique coordination configuration adsorbs soluble polysulfides and promotes bidirectional conversion of LiPSs at the cathode side. Meanwhile, the suitable binding strength of Mo/NG with lithium ions endows it with an attractive lithiophilic feature. Specifically, Mo/NG is able to work as the adaptor to redistribute lithium ions on the interface of separator and homogenize the lithium ion flux. Due to the suitable binding ability with Li+ , it does not interfere with the diffusion of lithium ions across and provides tunnels exclusive to lithium ions to generate fast and homogeneous flux. Ascribed to such unique multifunctionality, Li-S batteries assembled with Mo/NG exhibit excellent electrochemical performance including long cycling stability over 1000 cycles and high areal capacities under high sulfur mass loading.

Abstract
Anode-free lithium batteries without lithium metal excess are a practical option to maximize the energy content beyond the conventional design of Li-ion and Li metal batteries. However, their performance and reliability are still limited by using low-capacity oxygen-releasing intercalation cathodes and flammable liquid electrolytes. Herein, we propose quasi-solid-state anode-free batteries containing lithium sulfide-based cathodes and non-flammable polymeric gel electrolytes. Such batteries exhibit an energy density of 1323 Wh L-1 at the pouch cell level. Moreover, the lithium sulfide-based anode-free cell chemistry endows intrinsic safety thanks to a lack of uncontrolled exothermic reactions of reactive oxygen and excess Li inventory. Furthermore, the non-flammable gel electrolyte, developed from MXene-doped fluorinated polymer, inhibits polysulfide shuttling, hinders Li dendrite formation and further secures cell safety. Finally, we demonstrate the improved cell safety against mechanical, electrical and thermal abuses.

Abstract
Selenium (Se)-based cathode materials have garnered considerable interest for lithium-ion batteries due to their numerous advantages, including low cost, high volumetric capacity (3268 mAh cm−3), high density (4.82 g cm−3), ability to be cycled to high voltage (4.2 V) without failure, and environmental friendliness. However, they have low electrical conductivity, low coulombic efficiency, and polyselenide solubility in electrolytes (shuttle effect). These factors have an adverse effect on the electrochemical performance of Li-Se batteries, rendering them unsuitable for real-world use. In this study, we briefly examined numerous approaches to overcoming these obstacles, including selecting an adequate electrolyte, the composition of Se with carbonaceous materials, and the usage of metal selenide base electrodes. Furthermore, we examined the effect of introducing interlayers between the cathode and the separator. Finally, the remaining hurdles and potential study prospects in this expanding field are proposed to inspire further insightful work.

Abstract
Altered gut microbiota are implicated in inflammatory neonatal calf diarrhea caused by E. coli K99. Beneficial probiotics are used to modulate gut microbiota. However, factors that mediate host-microbe interactions remain unclear. We evaluated the effects of a combination of multispecies probiotics (MSP) on growth, intestinal epithelial development, intestinal immune function and microbiota of neonatal calves infected with E. coli K99. Twelve newborn calves were randomly assigned as follows: C (control, without MSP); D (E. coli O78:K99 + gentamycin); and P (E. coli O78:K99 + supplemental MSP). All groups were studied for 21 d. MSP supplementation significantly (i) changed fungal Chao1 and Shannon indices of the intestine compared with group D; (ii) reduced the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Actinobacteria, while increasing Bifidobacteria, Ascomycetes, and Saccharomyces, compared with groups C and D; (iii) improved duodenal and jejunal mucosal SIgA and total Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) concentrations compared with group D; (iv) increased relative ZO-1 and occludin mRNA expression in jejunal mucosa compared with group D; and (v) enhanced intestinal energy metabolism and defense mechanisms of calves by reducing HSP90 expression in E. coli K99, thereby alleviating the inflammatory response and promoting recovery of mucosal function. Our research may provide direct theoretical support for future applications of MSP in ruminant production.

Abstract
Safety risks stem from applying extremely reactive alkali metal anodes and/or oxygen-releasing cathodes in flammable liquid electrolytes restrict the practical use of state-of-the-art high-energy batteries. Here, we propose a intrinsically safe solid-state cell chemistry to satisfy both high energy and cell reliability. An all-solid-state rechargeable battery is designed by energetic yet stable multielectron redox reaction between Li2S cathode and Si anode in robust solid-state polymer electrolyte with fast ionic transport. Such cells can deliver high specific energy of 500 to 800 Wh kg−1 for 500 cycles with fast rate response, negligible self-discharge, and good temperature adaptability. Integrating intrinsic safe cell chemistry to robust cell design further guarantees reversible energy storage against extreme abuse of overheating, overcharge, short circuit, and mechanical damage in the air and water. This work may shed fresh insight into bridging the huge gap between high energy and safety of rechargeable cells for feasible applications and recycle.

Abstract
The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is an ideal electrochemical energy storage system owing to the high theoretical energy density and acceptable cost of finance and the environment. However, some disadvantages, including low electrical conductivity, poor sulfur utilization, and rapid capacity fading, obstruct its practical application. In this work, 3D carbon foam from a melamine resin is synthesized via high-temperature calcination. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and MnO2 are utilized to tailor the properties of the 3D cathode collector in the liquid Li2S6-containing Li-S battery without additional conductive agents, binders, and aluminum foil. Herein, the decorated MnO2 on the carbon fiber foam prolongs the lifespan of the Li-S battery, and adding CNTs is beneficial to enhance the capacity and cyclic performance of the Li-S battery under high sulfur loading. The Li-S battery with a sulfur loading of 3 mg cm-2 possesses a reversible capacity of 437.9 mA h g-1 after 400 cycles at 0.1 C. The capacity could be maintained at 568 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C after 80 cycles when the sulfur loading increases to 6 mg cm-2.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered as promising next-generation energy storage devices due to their ultrahigh theoretical energy density, where soluble lithium polysulfides are crucial in the Li-S electrochemistry as intrinsic redox mediators. However, the poor mediation capability of the intrinsic polysulfide mediators leads to sluggish redox kinetics, further rendering limited rate performances, low discharge capacity, and rapid capacity decay. Here, an organodiselenide, diphenyl diselenide (DPDSe), is proposed to accelerate the sulfur redox kinetics as a redox comediator. DPDSe spontaneously reacts with lithium polysulfides to generate lithium phenylseleno polysulfides (LiPhSePSs) with improved redox mediation capability. The as-generated LiPhSePSs afford faster sulfur redox kinetics and increase the deposition dimension of lithium sulfide. Consequently, the DPDSe comediator endows Li-S batteries with superb rate performance of 817 mAh g-1 at 2 C and remarkable cycling stability with limited anode excess. Moreover, Li-S pouch cells with the DPDSe comediator achieve an actual initial energy density of 301 Wh kg-1 and 30 stable cycles. This work demonstrates a novel redox comediation strategy with an effective organodiselenide comediator to facilitate the sulfur redox kinetics under pouch cell conditions and inspires further exploration in mediating Li-S kinetics for practical high-energy-density batteries.

Abstract
The great demand for high-energy-density batteries has driven intensive research on the Li-S battery due to its high theoretical energy density. Consequently, considerable progress in Li-S batteries is achieved, although the lithium anode material is still challenging in terms of lithium dendrites and its unstable interface with electrolyte, impeding the practical application of the Li-S battery. Li2 S-based Li-ion sulfur batteries (LISBs), which employ lithium-metal-free anodes, are a convenient and effective way to avoid the use of lithium metal for the realization of practical Li-S batteries. Over the past decade, studies on LISBs are carried out to optimize their performance. Herein, the research progress and challenges of LISBs are reviewed. Several important aspects of LISBs, including their working principle, the physicochemical properties of Li2 S, Li2 S cathode material composites, LISBs full batteries, and electrolyte for Li2 S cathode, are extensively discussed. In particular, the activation barrier in the initial charge process is fundamentally analyzed and the mechanism is discussed in detail, based on previous reports. Finally, perspectives on the future direction of the research of LISBs are proposed.

Abstract
Li-chalcogen batteries, especially the Li-S batteries (LSBs), have received paramount interests as next generation energy storage techniques because of their high theoretical energy densities. However, the associated challenges need to be overcome prior to their commercialization. Elemental selenium, another chalcogen member, would be an attractive alternative to sulfur owing to its higher electronic conductivity, comparable capacity density, and moreover, excellent compatibility with carbonate electrolytes. Unlike LSBs, the research and development of Li-Se batteries (LSeBs) have garnered burgeoning attention but are still in their infant stage, where a comprehensive yet in-depth overview is highly imperative to guide future research. Herein, a critical review of LSeBs, in terms of the underlying mechanisms, cathode design, blocking layer engineering, and emerging solid-state electrolytes is provided. First, the electrolyte-dependent electrochemistry of LSeBs is discussed. Second, the advances in Se-based cathodes are comprehensively summarized, especially highlighting the state-of-the-art Sex Sy cathodes, and mainly focusing on their structures, compositions, and synthetic strategies. Third, the versatile separators/interlayers optimization and interface regulation are outlined, with a particular focus on the emerging solid-state electrolytes for advanced LSeBs. Last, the remaining challenges and research orientations in this booming field are proposed, which are expected to motivate more insightful works.

Abstract
The activation of commercial Li2S remains to be one of the key challenges against its commercialization as a starting cathode material for a sulfur-based Li-ion battery system. In this work we take advantage of the lower oxidation potential of commercial Na2S (1-3 wt%) to serve as an in situ and local polysulfide injector for the activation of commercial Li2S (70 wt%). In contrast to applying pre-solvated redox mediators, this technique allows for the activation of commercial Li2S at lower voltages with an electrolyte content as low as 3 μL mg-1Li2S at 3 mgmgLi2S cm-2 and 4 μL mg-1Li2S at 6.5 mgLi2S cm-2 without any other material modification.

Abstract
Over the past decades, Li-ion battery (LIB) has turned into one of the most important advances in the history of technology due to its extensive and in-depth impact on our life. Its omnipresence in all electric vehicles, consumer electronics and electric grids relies on the precisely tuned electrochemical dynamics and interactions among the electrolytes and the diversified anode and cathode chemistries therein. With consumers' demand for battery performance ever increasing, more and more stringent requirements are being imposed upon the established equilibria among these LIB components, and it became clear that the state-of-the-art electrolyte systems could no longer sustain the desired technological trajectory. Driven by such gap, researchers started to explore more unconventional electrolyte systems. From superconcentrated solvent-in-salt electrolytes to solid-state electrolytes, the current research realm of novel electrolyte systems has grown to unprecedented levels. In this review, we will avoid discussions on current state-of-the-art electrolytes but instead focus exclusively on unconventional electrolyte systems that represent new concepts.

Abstract
Lithium-ion sulfur batteries as a new energy storage system with high capacity and enhanced safety have been emphasized, and their development has been summarized in this review. The lithium-ion sulfur battery applies elemental sulfur or lithium sulfide as the cathode and lithium-metal-free materials as the anode, which can be divided into two main types. One is anode-type, where elemental sulfur is applied as the cathode, and the anode provides lithium ions. The other one is cathode-type, where lithium sulfide as the cathode provides lithium ions, and lithium-metal-free materials (e.g., graphite, silicon/carbon) function as the anode. Recently, some new lithium-ion sulfur battery systems have also been proposed, and are discussed in this review as well. The lithium-ion sulfur batteries not only maintain the advantage of high energy density because of the high capacities of sulfur and lithium sulfide, but also exhibit the improved safety of the batteries due to a non-lithium-metal in the anode. This review paper aims to track the recent progress in the development of lithium-ion sulfur batteries and summarize the challenges and the approaches for improving their electrochemical performances, including the lithiation methods to prepare lithium-metal-free anodes in anode-type lithium-ion sulfur batteries and the lithium sulfide cathode modification approaches in cathode-type lithium-ion sulfur batteries. Furthermore, the challenges and perspectives for future research and commercial applications have also been enumerated.

Abstract
Recent works into sulfide-type solid electrolyte materials have attracted much attention among the battery community. Specifically, the oxidative decomposition of phosphorus and sulfur based solid state electrolyte has been considered one of the main hurdles towards practical application. Here we demonstrate that this phenomenon can be leveraged when lithium thiophosphate is applied as an electrochemically “switched-on” functional redox mediator-generator for the activation of commercial bulk lithium sulfide at up to 70 wt.% lithium sulfide electrode content. X-ray adsorption near-edge spectroscopy coupled with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Raman indicate a catalytic effect of generated redox mediators on the first charge of lithium sulfide. In contrast to pre-solvated redox mediator species, this design decouples the lithium sulfide activation process from the constraints of low electrolyte content cell operation stemming from pre-solvated redox mediators. Reasonable performance is demonstrated at strict testing conditions. The decomposition of solid state electrolyte material has been well-known in the literature. Here the authors report that the same decomposition process can be leveraged to act as a source of redox mediator that is only activated at certain voltages for application in Li2S based cathodes.
