Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered to be the next generation of energy storage devices due to their high energy density, abundant raw materials and low price. However, the development of lithium-sulfur batteries still faces many problems, including the shuttle effect of polysulfide, the poor conductivity of elemental sulfur, the poor coulombic efficiency caused by sulfur volume expansion during charging, the rapid decay of capacity and the corrosion of lithium anode. In recent years, metal oxides have been widely used in the modification of positive electrodes of lithium-sulfur batteries because of their ability to adsorb polysulfides, improving the mutual conversion ability between polysulfides, forming nanoscale structure with a 3D morphology, and playing a key role in the combination of host material and polysulfide. In this paper, the research progress in various metal oxides (transition metal oxides, binary and multi-metal oxides, other metal oxides) for the modification of lithium-sulfur battery cathode composites is reviewed. The application prospect of metal oxides in lithium-sulfur batteries is prospected.
