"Conversion mechanism of sulfur in room-temperature sodium-sulfur batte" by Fan Jin, Ruijie Wang et al.
Room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries have attracted considerable interest due to their remarkable cost-effectiveness and specific capacity. However, due to the limited comprehension of its conversion mechanism, the decrease in sulfur cathode capacity in carbonate electrolytes is usually loosely attributed to the shuttle effect, which is well known in lithium-sulfur batteries that work in ether-based electrolytes. This work proposes a complete sulfur reaction mechanism in which the confined space is very important by combining the results from the theoretical calculations and electrochemica...
