Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg−1), utilization of earth-abundant sulfur resources, and environmental compatibility. However, their practical implementation faces substantial challenges, including shuttle effects, sluggish sulfur redox kinetics, and uncontrolled lithium dendrite formation. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets are demonstrated to serve as a versatile catalytic platform to concurrently mitigate these fundamental limitations. This comprehensive review aims to systematically summarize recent advances in MoS2-engineered modification strategies across three key domains: 1) sulfur cathode hosts for enhanced electrocatalysis, 2) functional separator/interlayer designs, and 3) lithium anode stabilization approaches. Furthermore, persistent challenges are critically analyzed, and strategic research directions are proposed for optimizing MoS2-engineered systems, aiming to design high-energy-density and long-life Li-S batteries in the future.
