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
Materials with various single-transition metal atoms dispersed in nitrogenated carbons (M─N─C, M = Fe, Co, and Ni) are synthesized as cathodes to investigate the electrocatalytic behaviors focusing on their enhancement mechanism for performance of Li-S batteries. Results indicate that the order of both electrocatalytic activity and rate capacity for the M─N─C catalysts is Co > Ni > Fe, and the Co─N─C delivers the highest capacity of 1100 mAh g-1 at 1 C and longtime stability at a decay rate of 0.05% per cycle for 1000 cycles, demonstrating excellent battery performance. Theoretical calculations for the first time reveal that M─N─N─C catalysts enable direct conversion of Li2 S6 to Li2 S rather than Li2 S4 to Li2 S by stronger adsorption with Li2 S6 , which also has an order of Co > Ni > Fe. And Co─N─C has the strongest adsorption energy, not only rendering the highest electrocatalytic activity, but also depressing the polysulfides' dissolution into electrolyte for the longest cycle life. This work offers an avenue to design the next generation of highly efficient sulfur cathodes for high-performance Li-S batteries, while shedding light on the fundamental insight of single metal atomic catalytic effects on Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) with ultra-high energy density (2600 W h kg-1 ) and readily available raw materials are emerging as a potential alternative device with low cost for lithium-ion batteries. However, the insulation of sulfur and the unavoidable shuttle effect leads to slow reaction kinetics of LSBs, which in turn cause various roadblocks including poor rate capability, inferior cycling stability, and low coulombic efficiency. The most effective way to solve the issues mentioned above is to rationally design and control the synthesis of the cathode host for LSBs. Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) with good electrical conductivity and dual adsorption-conversion capabilities for polysulfide (PS) are regarded as promising cathode hosts for new-generation LSBs. In this review, the main obstacles to commercializing the LSBs and the development processes of their cathode host are first elaborated. Then, the sulfur fixation principles, and synthesis methods of the TMPs are briefly summarized and the recent progress of TMPs in LSBs is reviewed in detail. Finally, a perspective on the future research directions of LSBs is provided.

Abstract
Polysulfide shuttle effect and sluggish sulfur reaction kinetics severely impede the cycling stability and sulfur utilization of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Modulating d-band electronic structures of molybdenum disulfide electrocatalysts via p/n doping is promising to boost polysulfide conversion and suppress polysulfide migration in lithium-sulfur batteries. Herein, p-type V-doped MoS2 (V-MoS2 ) and n-type Mn-doped MoS2 (Mn-MoS2 ) catalysts are well-designed. Experimental results and theoretical analyses reveal that both of them significantly increase the binding energy of polysulfides on the catalysts' surface and accelerate the sluggish conversion kinetics of sulfur species. Particularly, the p-type V-MoS2 catalyst exhibits a more obvious bidirectional catalytic effect. Electronic structure analysis further demonstrates that the superior anchoring and electrocatalytic activities are originated from the upward shift of the d-band center and the optimized electronic structure induced by duplex metal coupling. As a result, the Li-S batteries with V-MoS2 modified separator exhibit a high initial capacity of 1607.2 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and excellent rate and cycling performance. Moreover, even at a high sulfur loading of 6.84 mg cm-2 , a favorable initial areal capacity of 8.98 mAh cm-2 is achieved at 0.1 C. This work may bring widespread attention to atomic engineering in catalyst design for high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have emerged as one of the most attractive alternatives for post-lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, owing to their ultrahigh theoretical energy density. However, the large-scale application of Li-S batteries remains enormously problematic because of the poor cycling life and safety problems, induced by the low conductivity , severe shuttling effect, poor reaction kinetics, and lithium dendrite formation. In recent studies, catalytic techniques are reported to promote the commercial application of Li-S batteries. Compared with the conventional catalytic sites on host materials, quantum dots (QDs) with ultrafine particle size (<10 nm) can provide large accessible surface area and strong polarity to restrict the shuttling effect, excellent catalytic effect to enhance the kinetics of redox reactions, as well as abundant lithiophilic nucleation sites to regulate Li deposition. In this review, the intrinsic hurdles of S conversion and Li stripping/plating reactions are first summarized. More importantly, a comprehensive overview is provided of inorganic QDs, in improving the efficiency and stability of Li-S batteries, with the strategies including composition optimization, defect and morphological engineering, design of heterostructures, and so forth. Finally, the prospects and challenges of QDs in Li-S batteries are discussed.

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
Due to their higher energy density, lower prices, and more environmentally friendly active components, Li-S batteries will soon compete with the current Li-ion batteries. However, issues persist that hinder this implementation, such as the poor conductivity of S and sluggish kinetics due to the polysulfide shuttle, among others. Herein, Ni nanocrystals encapsulated in a C matrix are obtained by a novel strategy based on the thermal decomposition of a Ni oleate-oleic acid complex at low-to-moderate temperatures: 500 and 700 °C. The two C/Ni composites were employed as hosts in Li-S batteries. Although the C matrix is amorphous at 500 °C, it is highly graphitized at 700 °C. At this moderate temperature, the simultaneous generation of Ni nanocrystals and the carbon matrix enhances the catalytic activity of Ni toward the graphitization process, which is negligible if starting from a mixture of a Ni salt and carbon source, even when calcined at temperatures as high as 1000 °C. The electrode made from the C/Ni composite obtained at 700 °C exhibits a high reversible capacity and an enhanced rate capability, much better not only than the C/Ni composite obtained at 500 °C but than others based on amorphous C calcined at very high temperatures, around 1000 °C. These properties are attributed to an increase in the electrical conductivity parallel to the ordering of the layers. We believe this work provides a new strategy to design C-based composites capable of combining the formation of nanocrystalline phases and the control of the C structure with superior electrochemical properties for Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts have been paid more attention to improving sluggish reaction kinetics and anchoring polysulfide for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. It has been demonstrated that d-block single-atom elements in the fourth period can chemically interact with the local environment, leading to effective adsorption and catalytic activity toward lithium polysulfides. Enlightened by theoretical screening, for the first time, we design novel single-atom Nb catalysts toward improved sulfur immobilization and catalyzation. Calculations reveal that Nb-N4 active moiety possesses abundant unfilled antibonding orbitals, which promotes d-p hybridization and enhances anchoring capability toward lithium polysulfides via a "trapping-coupling-conversion" mechanism. The Nb-SAs@NC cell exhibits a high capacity retention of over 85% after 1000 cycles, a superior rate performance of 740 mA h g-1 at 7 C, and a competitive areal capacity of 5.2 mAh cm-2 (5.6 mg cm-2). Our work provides a new perspective to extend cathodes enabling high-energy-density Li-S batteries.

Abstract
On account of the increasing demand for aromatic ketones and the challenging task of mass production in the chemical industry, efficient and sustainable catalysts are urgently needed to catalyze the conversion of aromatic alkyl compounds into high value-added products via the activation of C-H bonds. Herein, Fe single-site atoms anchored on a N-doped three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon nanostructure (Fe-MEG-800) synthesized through the self-assembly hydrothermal method are reported. Detailed characterization analyses, such as aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (AC-HAADF-STEM), are employed to prove the isolated single Fe atom dispersing on the carbon nanostructure, along with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and Mössbauer spectroscopy analysis confirming the Fe-N5 coordination structure. Furthermore, the 3D cross-linked structure not only provides an abundant open-framework structure for the mass transfer during the reaction but also facilitates the exposure of more active sites and promotes the reaction procedure. The as-prepared catalyst possesses high catalytic activity toward the C-H bond at room temperature. In the model reaction of oxidizing ethylbenzene (EB) to high-value acetophenone (AcPO), the conversion and the selectivity of the reaction are both over 99%. In addition, the catalyst also presents favorable stability with retaining high performance even after eight cycles. The possible adsorption sites of the reactant and oxidant are explored through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Based on the analysis of experimental and theoretical results, a possible mechanism for the oxidation of EB to AcPO involving •OH, O2•-, and 1O2 is also proposed.

Abstract
The shuttling of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPS) and the sluggish Li-S conversion kinetics are two main barriers toward the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, we propose the addition of copper selenide nanoparticles at the cathode to trap LiPS and accelerate the Li-S reaction kinetics. Using both computational and experimental results, we demonstrate the crystal phase and concentration of copper vacancies to control the electronic structure of the copper selenide, its affinity toward LiPS chemisorption, and its electrical conductivity. The adjustment of the defect density also allows for tuning the electrochemically active sites for the catalytic conversion of polysulfide. The optimized S/Cu1.8Se cathode efficiently promotes and stabilizes the sulfur electrochemistry, thus improving significantly the LSB performance, including an outstanding cyclability over 1000 cycles at 3 C with a capacity fading rate of just 0.029% per cycle, a superb rate capability up to 5 C, and a high areal capacity of 6.07 mAh cm-2 under high sulfur loading. Overall, the present work proposes a crystal phase and defect engineering strategy toward fast and durable sulfur electrochemistry, demonstrating great potential in developing practical LSBs.

Abstract
Although lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are promising next-generation energy-storage systems, their practical applications are limited by the growth of Li dendrites and lithium polysulfide shuttling. These problems can be mitigated through the use of single-atom catalysts (SACs), which exhibit the advantages of maximal atom utilization efficiency (≈100%) and unique catalytic properties, thus effectively enhancing the performance of electrode materials in energy-storage devices. This review systematically summarizes the recent progress in SACs intended for use in Li-metal anodes, S cathodes, and separators, briefly introducing the operating principles of Li-S batteries, the action mechanisms of the corresponding SACs, and the fundamentals of SACs activity, and then comprehensively describes the main strategies for SACs synthesis. Subsequently, the applications of SACs and the principles of SACs operation in reinforced Li-S batteries as well as other metal-S batteries are individually illustrated, and the major challenges of SACs usage in Li-S batteries as well as future development directions are presented.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have demonstrated catalytic efficacy toward lithium polysulfide conversion in Li-S batteries. However, achieving high-density M-Nx sites with rational design by a simple method is still challenging to date. Herein, an ultrathin porous 3D carbon-supported single-atom catalyst (SACo/NDC) is synthesized with a salt-template strategy via a facile freeze-drying and one-step pyrolysis procedure and serves well as a sulfur host. The well-defined 3D carbon structure can effectively alleviate volume stress and confine polysulfides inside. Moreover, the dispersed Co-Nx sites exhibit strong chemical adsorption function and valid catalytic efficiency to LiPSs redox conversion. As a result, the SACo/NDC cathodes display enhanced long-term cycling stability and better rate capability.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted considerable attention over the last two decades because of a high energy density and low cost. However, the wide application of Li-S batteries has been severely impeded due to the poor electrical conductivity of S, shuttling effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), and sluggish redox kinetics of S species, especially under high S loading. To address all these issues, a Ni-CeO2 heterostructure-doped carbon nanofiber (Ni-CeO2 -CNF) is developed as an S host that combines the strong adsorption with the high catalytic activity and the good electrical conductivity, where the LiPSs anchored on the heterostructure surface can directly gain electrons from the current collector and realize a fast conversion between S8 and Li2 S. Therefore, Li-S batteries with S@Ni-CeO2 -CNF cathodes exhibit superior long-term cycling stability, with a capacity decay of 0.046% per cycle over 1000 cycles, even at 2 C. Noteworthy, under a sulfur loading up to 6 mg cm-2 , a high reversible areal capacity of 5.3 mAh cm-2 can be achieved after 50 cycles at 0.1 C. The heterostructure-modified S cathode effectively reconciles the thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of LiPSs for adsorption and conversion, furthering the development of high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are promising energy storage devices because of their high theoretical capacity and energy density. However, the "shuttle" effect in lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) is an unresolved issue that can hinder their practical commercial application. Research on LSBs has focused on finding appropriate materials that suppress this effect by efficiently anchoring the LiPSs intermediates. Quantum chemical computations are a useful tool for understanding the mechanistic details of chemical interaction involving LiPSs, and they can also offer strategies for the rational design of LiPSs anchoring materials. In this perspective, we highlight computational and theoretical work performed on this topic. This includes elucidating and characterizing the adsorption mechanisms, and the dominant types of interactions, and summarizing the binding energies of LiPSs on anchoring materials. We also give examples and discuss the potential of descriptors and machine learning approaches to predict the adsorption strength and reactivity of materials. We believe that both approaches will become indispensable in modelling future LSBs.

Abstract
Next-generation batteries based on conversion reactions, including aqueous metal-air batteries, nonaqueous alkali metal-O2 and -CO2 batteries, alkali metal-chalcogen batteries, and alkali metal-ion batteries have attracted great interest. However, their use is restricted by inefficient reversible conversion of active agents. Developing bifunctional catalysts to accelerate the conversion reaction kinetics in both discharge and charge processes is urgently needed. Graphene-, or graphene-like carbon-supported atomically dispersed metal catalysts (G-ADMCs) have been demonstrated to show excellent activity in various electrocatalytic reactions, making them promising candidates. Different from G-ADMCs for catalysis, which only require high activity in one direction, G-ADMCs for rechargeable batteries should provide high activity in both discharging and charging. This review provides guidance for the design and fabrication of bifunctional G-ADMCs for next-generation rechargeable batteries based on conversion reactions. The key challenges that prevent their reversible conversion, the origin of the activity of bifunctional G-ADMCs, and the current design principles of bifunctional G-ADMCs for highly reversible conversion, have been analyzed and highlighted for each conversion-type battery. Finally, a summary and outlook on the development of bifunctional G-ADMC materials for next-generation batteries with a high energy density and excellent energy efficiency are given.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries, promising secondary energy storage devices, were mainly limited by its unsatisfactory cyclability owing to inefficient reversible conversion of sulfur and lithium sulfide on the cathode during the discharge/charging process. In this study, nitrogen-doped three-dimensional porous carbon material loaded with CoSe 2 nanoparticles (CoSe 2 -PNC) is developed as a cathode for lithium-sulfur battery application. A combination of CoSe 2 and nitrogen-doped porous carbon can efficiently improve the cathode activity and its conductivity, resulting in enhanced redox kinetics of the charge/discharge process. The obtained electrode exhibits a high discharge specific capacity of 1139.6 mAh g -1 at a current density of 0.2 C. After 100 cycles, its capacity remained at 865.7 mAh g -1 corresponding to a capacity retention of 75.97%. In a long-term cycling test, a discharge specific capacity of 546.7 mAh g -1 was observed after 300 cycles performed at a current density of 1 C.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are recognized as one of the most promising next-generation energy storage devices, but their practical application is greatly limited by several obstacles, such as the highly insulating nature and sluggish redox kinetics of sulfur and the dissolution of lithium polysulfides. Herein, three-dimensional carbon nanosheet frameworks anchored with Ni@Ni3N heterostructure nanoparticles (denoted Ni@Ni3N/CNS) are designed and fabricated by a chemical blowing and thermal nitridation strategy. It is demonstrated that the Ni@Ni3N heterostructure can effectively accelerate polysulfide conversion and promote the chemical trapping of polysulfides. Meanwhile, the carbon nanosheet frameworks of Ni@Ni3N/CNS establish a highly conductive network for fast electron transportation. The cells with Ni@Ni3N heterostructures as the catalyst in the cathode show excellent electrochemical performance, revealing stable cycling over 600 cycles with a low-capacity fading rate of 0.04% per cycle at 0.5 C and high-rate capability (594 mAh g-1 at 3 C). Furthermore, Ni@Ni3N/CNS can also work well in room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT-Na/S) batteries, delivering a high specific capacity (454 mAh g-1 after 400 cycles at 0.5 C). This work provides a rational way to prepare the metal-metal nitride heterostructures to enhance the performance both of Li-S and RT-Na/S batteries.

Abstract
The sluggish redox kinetic and shuttle effect of polysulfides still obstruct the commercial application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Herein, a nanocomposite consisting of well-dispersed and lamellar-like shape CoS anchored on g-C3N4 nanosheets (CoS@g-C3N4) is prepared firstly, and then it is integrated on a polypropylene membrane combined with little conductive Ketjen black (KB) to fabricate a multifunctional and quite thin interlayer, with a thickness of only ∼ 2.1 um and areal mass loading of ∼ 0.07 mg·cm-2. The as-prepared interlayer firstly can capture polysulfides by Li-N bond as well as Lewis acid-base interaction between CoS and polysulfide anions (Sn2-), and more importantly, it also displays a positive effect on catalyzing the redox conversion of intermediate polysulfides. As expected, a Li-S cell assembled with this modified separator and high sulfur content cathode displays an excellent electrochemical performance, with specific capacity of ∼ 1290 mAh g-1 at 0.2C and a low fading rate of 0.03% per cycle after 500 cycles at 1.0C. Furthermore, a high sulfur mass loading of ∼ 4.0 mg·cm-2 electrode paired with this multifunctional separator exhibits a stable specific capacity of ∼ 600 mAh g-1 after 250 cycles under 0.1C. This work can give some guides to rational design a quite thin and light interlayer for improving the utilization of sulfur species, with little damage to the energy density and Li ion transportation in Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Herein, a three-dimensional interconnected sulfur (3DIS) system is used to construct a cathode of the lithium-sulfur battery. Compared with the traditional methods of encapsulating sulfur, the 3DIS system serves as a framework to grow MnO2, which ensures a high sulfur content of 91.5 wt % (the ratio of sulfur/host was 10.8) and a uniform distribution of sulfur. Due to the synergistic effect of the 3D interconnected architecture and the uniform coating layer of polar MnO2, 3DIS@MnO2 (3DISMO) delivers a capacity of 891 mA h g-1 after 900 cycles at 1 C. Even at a rate of 10 C, a capacity decay rate of 0.061% per cycle is achieved.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have been considered as potential next-generation energy storage systems due to their high specific energy of 2600 Wh kg-1 and 2800 Wh L-1. Nevertheless, the practical application of LSBs still faces several hazards, including the shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfides, low electrical conductivities of solid sulfur and lithium sulfides, and large volume expansion during charge/discharge cycles. To address this critical challenge, we innovatively proposed facile synthesis of nanostructured VN quantum dots (VNQD)/holey graphene matrix for stabilizing the sulfur cathode by simultaneously promoting the trapping, anchoring, and catalyzing efficiencies of both LiPSs and Li2S. Benefiting from abundant edge catalytic sites of VNQD, in-plane nanopores of graphene, and high electrical conductivity, the sulfur host not only provides high adsorption capability toward soluble polysulfides, strong binding ability for anchoring solid Li2S, and their rapid conversion kinetics but also contributes abundant sulfur storage sites and efficient transport pathways for lithium ions (Li+) and electrons. Consequently, the sulfur cathode exhibits high initial capacities of 1320 mAh g-1, high rate capability (850 mAh g-1 @ 4 mA cm-2), and high capacity retention of 99.95% per cycle after 500 cycles, providing a feasible solution for the practical utilization of shuttle-free Li-S batteries.
