The lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery is widely regarded as a promising energy storage device due to its low price and the high earth-abundance of the materials employed. However, the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and sluggish redox conversion result in inefficient sulfur utilization, l...
