“…However, the physical and chemical adsorption of lithium polysulfides cannot effectively suppress the shuttle effect under long cycles and high-sulfur-loading conditions . Moreover, the sluggish redox of sulfur leads to the accumulation of lithium polysulfides in the electrolyte, which causes the shuttle effect and capacity attenuation. , In recent years, many kinds of metal nanostructures (e.g., Co, Ni, Sn, Fe, and Se/Te) as electrocatalysts have been developed in combination with chemical adsorption to effectively accelerate the redox reaction and alleviate the shuttle effect, thus improving the performance of Li–S batteries. Compared with monometal nanostructures, alloys are regarded as a significant group of heterogeneous catalysts consisting of mixed metallic components, which further increase catalytic activity, stability, and selectivity .…”
