Illuminating Polysulfide Distribution in Lithium Sulfur Batteries; Tracking Polysulfide Shuttle Using <i>Operando</i> Optical Fluorescence Microscopy. [PDF]
ACS Appl Mater InterfacesHigh-energy-density lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries suffer heavily from the polysulfide shuttle effect, a result of the dissolution and transport of intermediate polysulfides from the cathode, into the electrolyte, and onto the anode, leading to rapid cell degradation.

Mechanistic modeling of polysulfide shuttle and capacity loss in lithium–sulfur batteries [PDF]
Journal of Power Sources, 2014 Abstract Lithium–sulfur (Li/S) cells are promising candidates for a next generation of safe and cost-effective high energy density batteries for mobile and stationary applications. At present, most Li/S cells still suffer from relatively poor cyclability, capacity loss under moderate current densities and self-discharge.

Selective catalysis remedies polysulfide shuttling in lithium-sulfur batteries [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2020 Abstract The shuttling of soluble lithium polysulfides between the electrodes leads to serious capacity fading and excess use of electrolyte, which severely bottlenecks practical use of Li-S batteries. Here selective catalysis is proposed as a fundamental remedy for the consecutive solid-liquid-solid sulfur redox reactions. The proof-of-concept
