On account of high energy density and low cost of sulfur, lithium‐sulfur (Li−S) battery has been regarded as an appealing energy storage system to date. Nevertheless, it has faced formidable challenges, mainly pertaining to the fatal shuttle effect and retarded sulfur redox kinetics. Single atom catalysts (SACs) have showcased great promise for addressing these issues owing to their maximum atom utilization efficiency, favorable catalytic activity as well as their good structural tunability at an atomic level, considerably contributing to the recent fruitful advancements in Li−S realm. In this review, we summarize the state‐of‐the‐art strategies in the coordination manipulations of SACs toward highly efficient and durable Li−S batteries. The recent advances, existing issues, and future outlooks are discussed accordingly, aiming to guide the synthetic design of SACs, propel the underlying mechanism understanding and ultimately boost the commercial viability of Li−S batteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
