To review advanced sulfur cathode design strategies and bridge the gap between fundamental laboratory research and the practical implementation of high-energy, wide-temperature lithium–sulfur batteries.
Assessed cathode engineering strategies based on their impact on gravimetric energy density (Wh kg⁻¹) and volumetric energy density (Wh L⁻¹).
Evaluated critical practical parameters including sulfur fraction, sulfur loading, electrolyte-to-sulfur (E/S) ratio, and host material density across diverse operating temperatures.
Identified that overcoming sluggish redox kinetics and polysulfide shuttling under lean electrolyte conditions is essential to retain high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities.
Outlined design trade-offs and structural solutions for sulfur hosts to enable stable Li–S battery operation across wide ambient and extreme temperature ranges.
