Metal Nanoclusters as a Superior Polysulfides Immobilizer toward Highly Stable Lithium–Sulfur Batteries (Small 2/2024)

Lithium–Sulfur Batteries In article number 2304210, Dequan Liu, Saikat Das, Deyan He, Yuichi Negishi, and co-workers use Au24Pt(PET)18 nanoclusters for the first time as electrocatalysts in sulfur reduction reaction. The authors construct a lithium–sulfur battery with Au24Pt(PET)18@Graphene(G)-based separator that demonstrates excellent capacity and long cycling stability, besides arresting the shuttling polysulfides, inhibiting the formation of lithium dendrites and improving sulfur utilization, consequently outperforming commercial Li-ion batteries.
