Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are on the brink of transforming energy storage with their remarkable theoretical energy density and cost-effective materials. However, several challenges, including the notorious shuttle effect, electrode passivation, and slow reaction kinetics, have impeded their widespread adoption. Now, researchers from the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Sustainable Energy Science and Engineering at Zhengzhou University and the Key Laboratory of Advanced Energy Materials Chemistry at Nankai University, led by Professor Zhen Zhou, present a comprehensive review titled “Breaking Boundaries: Advancing Trisulfur Radical Mediated Catalysis for High Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries.” This work offers valuable insights into how trisulfur radicals (TRs) can act as powerful catalysts to significantly enhance the electrochemical performance of LSBs.
