AbstractIntensive increases in electrical energy storage are being driven by electric vehicles (EVs), smart grids, intermittent renewable energy, and decarbonization of the energy economy. Advanced lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are among the most promising candidates, especially for EVs and grid-scale energy storage applications. In this topical review, the recent progress and perspectives of practical LSBs are reviewed and discussed; the challenges and solutions for these LSBs are analyzed and proposed for future practical and large-scale energy storage applications. Major challenges for the shuttle effect, reaction kinetics, and anodes are specifically addressed, and solutions are provided on the basis of recent progress in electrodes, electrolytes, binders, interlayers, conductivity, electrocatalysis, artificial SEI layers, etc. The characterization strategies (including in situ ones) and practical parameters (e.g., cost-effectiveness, battery management/modeling, environmental adaptability) are assessed for crucial automotive/stationary large-scale energy storage applications (i.e., EVs and grid energy storage). This topical review will give insights into the future development of promising Li–S batteries toward practical applications, including EVs and grid storage.

摘要

电动汽车(ev)、智能电网、间歇性可再生能源和能源经济的脱碳推动了电能存储的密集增长。先进的锂硫电池(LSBs)是最有前途的候选者之一，特别是在电动汽车和电网规模的储能应用中。本文综述了近年来lbs的研究进展和展望;分析了这些lsdb面临的挑战和解决方案，并为未来的实际和大规模储能应用提出了建议。针对穿梭效应、反应动力学和阳极方面的主要挑战进行了具体讨论，并根据电极、电解质、粘合剂、中间层、电导率、电催化、人工SEI层等方面的最新进展提供了解决方案。针对关键的汽车/固定式大规模储能应用(即电动汽车和电网储能)，评估了表征策略(包括原位策略)和实用参数(例如，成本效益、电池管理/建模、环境适应性)。这篇专题综述将深入了解有前途的Li-S电池在实际应用中的未来发展，包括电动汽车和电网存储。
