Summary: All-solid-state lithium sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) show great potential as energy storage devices due to their high energy density and safety. However, there are challenges in their practical performance, such as the sluggish reaction kinetics caused by the insulating nature of sulfur. The review focuses on optimizing the cathode structure, designing protective interlayers, and limiting polysulfide dissolution and migration to improve the performance of ASSLSBs.

Summary: Replacing liquid electrolytes with solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) is considered a vital approach in developing sulfur-based cathodes. This study designs an all-solid-state Li metal battery with a flexible composite cathode and electrolyte, which exhibits excellent cyclic stability and capacity retention. Cryo-transmission electron microscopy reveals the presence of blocking layers at the Li/PEO interface, while in situ optical microscopy demonstrates the reversible shuttle effect contributing to the cyclic stability.
