A joint research team led by Prof. Zhang Huigang from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Dr. Lu Jun from Argonne National Laboratory, U.S.A., has found a “volcano-shaped” relationship between polysulfide adsorption and catalytic activity in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries.
The study was published in Nature Catalysis on June 16.
According to Prof. Zhang, this volcano-shaped relationship…
