“…The rapid development of portable electronic devices has increased the demand for electric energy and has also stimulated the development of rechargeable batteries that have high energy density . Lithium–sulfur batteries have attracted much attention due to their environmental protection, abundant reserves, and extraordinary theoretical specific capacity (1675 mAh g –1 ) and ultrahigh energy density (2600 Wh kg –1 ). , However, Li–S batteries have faced enormous challenges because of the insulating nature of sulfur, large volume changes, and the “shuttle effect”. , The shuttle effect in particular results in an irreversible loss of active substance, an attenuation of battery life, and a low Coulomb efficiency. − In order to solve this problem, researchers have made great efforts on the solid-state of electrolytes. − All-solid-state electrolytes have significant safety advantages and wide electrochemical windows. − However, their insufficient ionic conductivity , and unsatisfactory interface contact greatly limit their utilization in lithium–sulfur batteries. As for gel electrolytes, they have the advantages of liquid electrolytes and the high safety of solid electrolytes. , At present, the focus of gel electrolytes is to design the composition and structure of a chain segment of the polymer matrix in order to prevent the permeation of polysulfide lithium (LiPS), such as by relying on the electrostatic repulsion of ionizable groups, , introducing strongly adsorbing groups, , etc.…”
