“…[23][24][25][26][27][28] Despite the materials and electrochemical advantages of a sulfur cathode, commercialization of LSB is limited owing to several critical issues like (1) the low utilization of active material in sulfur cathodes due to low electrical conductivity of elemental S, (2) dissolution of lithium polysulde (LiPS) from cathode to a liquid electrolyte leading to the shuttle effect, (3) volume exchange of elemental S (∼80%), and (4) safety issues in Li dendrite growth during the charge and discharge process. To address these limitations, several studies have focused on various solutions, including immobilization of LiPS using porous cathode additives, [29][30][31] lithium penetrated polymer layer on the cathode, [32][33][34] multi-functional separators, [35][36][37] and electrolyte additives [38][39][40] for better formation of surface electrolyte interface on the surface of Li anodes. Among these, multifunctional separators, which function by suppressing the LiPS and Li dendrite growth during charge and discharge cycling, are the most simple way to enhance the electrochemical performance of LSB.…”
