Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are one of the most promising energy storage devices due to their environmental friendliness, low cost, and high specific capacity. However, the slow electrochemical kinetics and the "shuttle effect" have seriously hindered their commercialization. Herein, the nanoflower Bi2S3─MoS2 (BMS) heterostructure is synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method, and then the Bi2S3─MoS2-Polypropylene (BMS-PP) interlayer is constructed. The heterostructure is rich in active sites, in which BMS has strong adsorption to lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and can effectively anchor LiPSs while catalyzing LiPSs and promote the redox of Li2S at the same time, which can improve the utilization of active substances. More importantly, the d-band center can be tuned by the formation of Bi2S3─MoS2 heterostructure. Thus, Li-S batteries containing the BMS-PP interlayer show excellent rate performance (841.6 mAh g-1 at 5 C) and cycling performance (70.3% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 3 C). This work provides a new route for high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries.

Abstract
Restructuring is an important phenomenon in catalytic reactions. Conversion-type materials with suitable redox potential may undergo in situ electrochemically driven restructurings and induce highly active catalytic sites in a working lithium-sulfur battery. Herein, driven by the electrochemical conversion reaction of BiVO4, a reversible catalytic cycle of Bi/amorphous Li3VO4 (a-Li3VO4) and Bi2S3/a-Li3VO4 heterojunctions is constructed, which targets the oxidation of Li2S and the conversion of polysulfide, respectively. The heterostructures and electrochemically driven size confinement provide abundant sites for shuttle restraining and sulfur conversion. Especially, the p-block Bi and Bi2S3 could dramatically reduce the conversion energy barriers of Li2S and polysulfide by virtue of the p-p orbital hybridization, promoting bidirectional reactions of the sulfur cathode. As a result, the corresponding sulfur cathode possesses a high reversible capacity of 7.5 mAh cm-2 after 120 cycles under a high sulfur loading of 10.3 mg cm-2 with a current density of 0.38 mA cm-2. This study furnishes a feasible scheme to obtain highly effective catalysts for bidirectional sulfur redox by utilizing the electrochemically induced restructuring.

Abstract
Lithium sulfur battery (LSB) has great potential as a promising next-generation energy storage system owing to ultra-high theoretical specific capacity and energy density. However, the polysulfide shuttle effect and slow redox kinetics are recognized the most stumbling blocks on the way of commercializing LSB. On this account, for the first time, we use Tix+ in-situ intercalation strategy via titanium foil/vanadium ion (V5+) solution interface to modify the layer of vanadium oxide for long cycle LSB. The inserted Tix+ strengthens interlayer interaction and enhances lithium-ion mobility rate. Meanwhile, based on density functional theory (DFT) calculation, the mixed valence of V5+/V4+ in the vanadium oxide structure reduces the stress and strain of lithium-ion intercalation through the interlayer support of titanium ions (Tix+). Also, Tix+ refines the structural stability of the sulfur wrapped composite matrix so as to facilitate the LiPSs transformation, and improve the electrochemical performances. Consequently, the Ti-VO2.375/S cathode delivers a lower capacity decay of 0.037 % per cycle over 1500 cycles with a stable coulombic efficiency around 100 %.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries hold the superiority of eminent theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg-1 ). However, the ponderous sulfur reduction reaction and the issue of polysulfide shuttling pose significant obstacles to achieving the practical wide-temperature operation of Li-S batteries. Herein, a covalent organic nanosheet-wrapped carbon nanotubes (denoted CON/CNT) composite is synthesized as an electrocatalyst for wide-temperature Li-S batteries. The design incorporates the CON skeleton, which contains imide and triazine functional units capable of chemically adsorbing polysulfides, and the underlaid CNTs facilitate the conversion of captured polysulfides enabled by enhanced conductivity. The electrocatalytic behavior and chemical interplay between polysulfides and the CON/CNT interlayer are elucidated by in situ X-ray diffraction detections and theoretical calculations. Resultantly, the CON/CNT-modified cells demonstrate upgraded performances, including wide-temperature operation ranging from 0 to 65 °C, high-rate performance (625 mAh g-1 at 5.0 C), exceptional high-rate cyclability (1000 cycles at 5.0 C), and stable operation under high sulfur loading (4.0 mg cm-2 ) and limited electrolyte (5 µL mgs -1 ). These findings might guide the development of advanced Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, as one of the new energy storage batteries, show immense potential due to their high theoretical specific capacity and theoretical energy density. However, there are still some problems to be solved, among which the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides is one extremely serious issue with respect to the industrial application of Li-S batteries. Rational design of electrode materials with effective catalytic conversion ability is an effective route to accelerate the conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Herein, considering the adsorption and catalysis of LiPSs, CoOx nanoparticles (NPs) loaded on carbon sphere composites (CoOx/CS) were designed and constructed as cathode materials. The CoOx NPs obtained, with ultralow weight ratio and uniform distribution, consist of CoO, Co3O4, and metallic Co. The polar CoO and Co3O4 enable chemical adsorption towards LiPSs through Co-S coordination, and the conductive metallic Co can improve electronic conductivity and reduce impedance, which is beneficial for ion diffusion at the cathode. Based on these synergistic effects, the CoOx/CS electrode exhibits accelerated redox kinetics and enhanced catalytic activity for conversion of LiPSs. Consequently, the CoOx/CS cathode delivers improved cycling performance, with an initial capacity of 980.8 mA h g-1 at 0.1C and a reversible specific capacity of 408.4 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles, along with enhanced rate performance. This work provides a facile route to construct cobalt-based catalytic electrodes for Li-S batteries, and promotes understanding of the LiPSs conversion mechanism.

Abstract
Owning to its various advantages, the lithium-sulfur battery is one of the research hot spots for new energy storage systems. Diverse hollow structures with specific morphologies have been used as the sulfur host materials to adsorb or/and catalyze the polysulfides, and can in particular concurrently inhibit the volume expansion during electrochemical processes in lithium-sulfur batteries. However, hollow space with a large volume will restrict the performance of the cell under high sulfur area loading, which is a very important indicator for the practical applications of the lithium-sulfur battery. Here, we report a nano thin cage cobalt acid zinc (ZnCo2O4) with limited hollow space as the cathode catalyst for lithium-sulfur batteries, which greatly reduces the electrode volume occupied by the hollow structure. The hollow volume of these thin cages is much smaller than those of the normally reported hollow materials in the literatue. The electrochemical performance of lithium-sulfur batteries with ZnCo2O4 thin cages could greatly improve due to the unique structure and the synergistic adsorption/catalytic effect of Zn/Co sites, especially at an ultrahigh S area load. Under a high S loading of 8 mg cm-2, the cell could keep a reversible capacity of 600 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles. Even at a sulfur loading of 10 mg cm-2, the cell still releases a discharge capacity of 1000 mAh g-1 which is equivalent of an area capacity of 10 mAh cm-2. This work provides a feasible way to develop lithium sulfur batteries with a high area sulfur load. This idea provides a possible solution to develop a Li-S battery at high area S loading and move one step closer to the practical applications.

Abstract
Lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted tremendous attention owing to their high theoretical specific capacity and specific energy. However, their practical applications are hindered by poor cyclic life, mainly caused by polysulfide shuttling. The development of advanced materials to mitigate the polysulfide shuttling effect is urgently demanded. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been exploited as multifunctional materials for the decoration of separators owing to their high surface area, structural diversity, tunable pore size, and easy tailor ability. In this review, we aim to present the state-of-the-art MOF-based separators for LSBs. Particular attention is paid to the rational design (pore aperture, metal node, functionality, and dimension) of MOFs with enhanced ability for anchoring polysulfides and facilitating Li+ transportation. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are provided regarding to the future design MOF-based separators for high-performance LSBs.

Benefiting from the NPCF originated from biomass cattail fibers, a high conductive network is provided, and shuttle effect is reduced due to the strong chemical interaction between abundant heteroatom polar sites and lithium polysulfides. Moreover, the electrocatalytic CoS2 on the carbon skeleton facilitate lithium polysulfides conversion and lithium sulfide deposition based on the density functional theory calculations and experiments. The efficient lithium polysulfides entrapment and subsequent electrocatalytic conversion improve dynamic stability during cycling, especially for rate capability. With these advantageous features, the electrode with NPCF/CoS2 host can deliver a good rate capability (903 and 782 mAh g-1 at 1C and 2C, respectively) and stable cycling performance with an ultra-low capacity decay of 0.014% per cycle at 1C. Notably, the cell can achieve a high areal capacity of 4.96 mA h cm-2 under an elevated sulfur loading of 5.0 mg cm-2. Overall, the improvement on the electrochemical performance ascertains the validity of the design strategy based on synergy engineering, which is a highly suitable approach for energy storage and conversion application.

Abstract
Li-S batteries (LSBs) have attracted worldwide attention owing to their characteristics of high theoretical energy density and low cost. However, the commercial promotion of LSBs is hindered by the irreversible capacity decay and short cycling life caused by the shuttle effect of lithium-polysulfides (LiPSs). Herein, a hybrid interlayer consisting of MoO3 , conductive Ni foam, and Super P is prepared to prevent the shuttle effect and catalyze the LiPSs conversion. MoO3 with a reversible lithiation/delithiation behavior between Li0.042 MoO3 and Li2 MoO4 within 1.7-2.8 V versus Li/Li+ combines the Li+ insertion and LiPSs immobilization and efficiently improve the LSBs redox kinetics. Benefiting from the reversible Li+ insertion/extraction in lithium molybdate (Lix MoOy ) and the highly conductive Ni foam substrate, the sulfur cathode coupled with such electrochemical activation derived catalytic interlayer exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 1100.1 mAh g-1 at a current density of 1 C with a low decay rate of 0.09% cycle-1 . Good capacity retention can still be obtained even the areal sulfur loading is increased to 13.28 mg cm-2 .
