Abstract
In response to the increasing energy demand and growing awareness of environmental concerns, lithium‑sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted considerable attention as a promising alternative to conventional batteries, primarily due to their high energy density. However, challenges such as the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), electrode volumetric expansion, and lithium dendrite formation negatively affect their practical lifespan. Self-supporting Metal-Organic Frameworks (SS-MOFs) and their derivatives, known for their high electrical conductivity and porosity, present potential solutions by mitigating the shuttle effect, thereby enhancing the energy density, cycling stability, and energy efficiency of LSBs. This review initially elucidates the operating principles and challenges associated with LSBs, subsequently focusing on the structural classification, design and preparation methodologies, and the role of SS-MOFs in LSBs, including their application in the cathode, separator, anode, and electrolyte. The review aims to address current challenges and propose developmental opportunities to facilitate the advancement and commercialization of LSB technology.
期刊介绍:
Coordination Chemistry Reviews offers rapid publication of review articles on current and significant topics in coordination chemistry, encompassing organometallic, supramolecular, theoretical, and bioinorganic chemistry. It also covers catalysis, materials chemistry, and metal-organic frameworks from a coordination chemistry perspective. Reviews summarize recent developments or discuss specific techniques, welcoming contributions from both established and emerging researchers.
The journal releases special issues on timely subjects, including those featuring contributions from specific regions or conferences. Occasional full-length book articles are also featured. Additionally, special volumes cover annual reviews of main group chemistry, transition metal group chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. These comprehensive reviews are vital resources for those engaged in coordination chemistry, further establishing Coordination Chemistry Reviews as a hub for insightful surveys in inorganic and physical inorganic chemistry.
