Review and prospect on low-temperature lithium-sulfur battery

Empowering Low-Temperature Lithium–Sulfur Batteries: Unlocking the Potential of Transition Metal Alloy-Based Cathode Materials

“…Energy storage technologies play a critical role in supporting the transition to an increasingly electrified society, necessitating their ability to operate safely and efficiently across a range of climates. − Because the widespread use of electric vehicles is hampered by limited driving range, particularly at low temperatures, especially below 0 °C, there is a growing demand for energy storage solutions suitable for low-temperature applications to facilitate the proliferation of portable electronic devices and battery-powered automobiles. − Among various electrochemical energy storage systems, lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries, have emerged as promising candidates for wide temperature range energy storage applications, showcasing significant potential in emerging fields such as aerial drones, underwater submarines, space vehicles, and extended-range electric vehicles . Offering high specific capacity (1675 mAh g –1 ) and energy density (2600 Wh kg –1 ), coupled with the potential for lower costs and environmental friendliness, Li–S batteries present an attractive option. , Notably, these batteries with their high energy density have demonstrated suitability for operation in low-temperature conditions.…”
