Key Points

This study investigates the role of copper (Cu) sites in enhancing the catalytic performance of lithium-sulfur batteries.
Utilized metal-organic small molecules to examine their catalytic efficacy.
Focused on the conversion kinetics of lithium polysulfides during reduction.
Conducted evaluations of mononuclear and multinuclear Cu sites.
Mononuclear Cu sites showed a significant increase in the rate of polysulfide conversion.
Multinuclear Cu sites enhanced the overall catalytic efficiency and reduced redox activation barriers.
The modulated Cu sites demonstrated a marked improvement in battery performance metrics.

Implication

Explores the effects of mononuclear and multinuclear Cu sites on polysulfide conversion in lithium-sulfur batteries, suggesting improved efficiency.

Abstract

The intrinsically sluggish redox kinetics of sulfur species remains a critical challenge for lithium-sulfur (Li–S) batteries, prompting the exploration of metal–organic small molecules as efficient catalysts for polysulfide (LiPS) conversion....
