Abstract
Back cover image: Despite the huge potential of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries due to the high energy density and energy-to-price ratio, the commercial survival of this promising energy storage device is plagued by the polysulfide shuttling and sluggish redox reactions. In the article number cey2.450, Xiang and co-works report a series of novel carbon nanofibers (CNFs) interlayers that are composed of CNFs substrate, Cu nanoparticles decorations, and TiN coatings. Systematic control experiments confirm that lowcrystalline TiN coating exhibits stronger chemical adsorption toward polysulfides than its highly-crystalline counterpart, contributing to enhanced reaction kinetics and electrochemical performance.
