The rapid development of electric vehicle industries gradually increase the demand for secondary battery capacity, so it is urgent to develop new high-capacity lithium batteries. The Li-S battery has a high theoretical specific capacity (1675mAh/g) and a high theoretical specific energy (2600Wh/kg) that enables it to achieve an 3 to 5 times energy density of the lithium ion battery. However, many factors such as the capacity decay and the short cycle life caused by the dissolution and shuttling of the long-chain polysulfides limit practical applications of the lithium-sulfur battery. In this paper, the main strategies and relative progress to solve the "shuttle effect" are reviewed and analyzed from the aspects of surface coating, surface adsorption, and surface catalysis. At last, the developing tendencies of Li-S battery in future are also discussed.
- Li-S battery,
- Shuttle effect,
- Surface coating,
- Surface adsorption,
- Surface catalysis
