Overview

Experimental findings reveal chiral dimers improve polysulfide conversion in lithium-sulfur batteries, suggesting new design pathways for catalysts.

Key Points

  • This research aims to improve lithium-sulfur battery performance through chiral LiPS-LiTFSI dimers and biomimetic catalysts.
  • Formation of chiral LiPS-LiTFSI dimers identified
  • Design of biomimetic MOF catalysts with L-histidine-Cu centers
  • Assessment of electrocatalytic activity in lithium-sulfur systems
  • The MOF-L-His-Cu catalyst achieved 1.84-fold higher activity than its D-enantiomer
  • Specific energy reached 408 Wh kg−1 for pouch cells
  • High sulfur loading (12 mg cm−2) and low electrolyte/sulfur ratio (3 μL mg−1) were maintained
