Abstract: (90 Views)
Entering the 21st century, with the ongoing energy crisis and the intensification of environmental pollution and energy storage technologies, renewable energy has attracted the attention of the whole human society. Compared with other energy storage systems, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered as one of the most promising systems for next-generation rechargeable batteries due to their high energy density and low cost. However, both cathode and anode materials face serious shortcomings in practical applications. For cathode materials, the shuttle effect and the loss of cathode active materials due to volume expansion during cycling are often considered as the main reasons for the energy reduction of lithium-sulfur batteries. For anode materials, the failure to inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites often leads to internal short circuits in the battery, which leads to serious thermal runaway of the battery. At the same time, the rapid development of nanotechnology has brought technological breakthroughs in various scientific fields. In this study, some of the latest nanotechnologies that have been systematically applied to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-sulfur batteries are outlined. In addition, we rationally outlined strategies to reduce the negative effects of shuttle effects and suppress the growth of lithium dendrites. The use of nanotechnology can effectively increase the discharge capacity, improve the cycle stability, and enhance the safety of high-energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries. This research may provide insights into the development of nanotechnology for large-scale energy storage.
Keywords: Li-S batteries, energy storage mechanism, nanotechnology, cycle stability, performance improvement
