Abstract

Metal-sulfur batteries offer promising energy density and cost-effectiveness, yet grapple with challenges like limited conductivity and rapid capacity degradation. The advent of multi-atom catalysts has revolutionized these batteries, addressing these issues. This chapter explores the design, synthesis, and performance of such catalysts, initiating with an overview of the challenges faced by metal-sulfur batteries and the necessity for enhanced catalysts. It delves into multi-atom catalysts, emphasizing their distinctive features and synthesis methods. The intricate interplay between composition, morphology, and structure is scrutinized for effective catalyst design. Advanced characterization approaches are highlighted for comprehending electrochemical behavior. The chapter discusses contemporary research showcasing the transformative potential of multi-atom catalysts in metal-sulfur batteries, encompassing catalytic activity, charge transfer kinetics, polysulfide conversion, and cycling stability. The conclusion addresses future prospects and challenges, underscoring the continual need for research to optimize catalyst design, scalability, and long-term stability for practical integration into large-scale energy storage systems. In summary, the chapter serves as a substantial resource for academia and engineering, providing a comprehensive overview of the pivotal role played by multi-atom catalysts in advancing metal-sulfur battery technology.
