5.1 Introduction

Since the 1960s, the concept of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries has excited people as a seemingly ideal way for energy storage and conversion. Li–S batteries can deliver high energy storage density, which is almost five times that of lithium–ion batteries. Compared with lithium–ion batteries, the mechanism of energy storage in Li–S batteries is entirely different. The operation of lithium–ion batteries is based on the intercalation of lithium ions into/out ...
