For applications requiring safe, energy-dense, lightwt. batteries, solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries are an ideal choice that could surpass conventional lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, there are challenges specific to practical solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries, beyond the typical challenges inherent to solid-state batteries in general.

Introducing inorganic solid-state electrolytes into lithium–sulfur systems is believed as an effective approach to eliminate these issues without sacrificing the high-energy density, which determines sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries.
Compared with other secondary batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have unparalleled advantages such as high energy density, low cost, etc. In liquid LSB systems, it is extremely easy to cause severe “shuttle effect” and safety issues. Hence, the development of solid-state LSBs (SSLSBs) has been attracting much more attention.
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative All-solid-state lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have emerged as a promising energy storage solution due to their potential high energy density, cost effectiveness and safe operation.
In particular, all-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) that rely on lithium–sulfur reversible redox processes exhibit immense potential as an energy storage system, surpassing conventional lithium-ion batteries.
