Overview

This book delves into the key aspects of lithium/sulfur batteries, exploring their electrochemistry, reaction mechanisms, disadvantages, and characterization methods. It highlights recent advances in designing nanostructured electrode materials, including various carbon-host materials, polymer-derived materials, binder-free sulfur-hosts, and metal oxides.

Nanostructured Electrode Materials

The impact of these nanostructures on battery properties such as capacitance, rate capability, and cycle stability is discussed, providing guidelines for future electrode design.

Electrolytes and Separators

The book also reviews the progress in electrolytes and the development of advanced separators, such as functionalized polyolefins, carbon-metal oxide hybrids, and electrospun materials, and presents the future outlook and challenges in this field.
