Single Atom Array Mimic on Ultrathin MOF Nanosheets Boosts the Safety and Life of Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

The development of Li-S batteries is largely impeded by the growth of Li dendrites and polysulfide shuttling. To solve these two problems simultaneously, herein the study reports a "single atom array mimic" on ultrathin metal organic framework (MOF) nanosheet-based bifunctional separator for achieving the highly safe and long life Li-S batteries. In the designed separator, the periodically arranged cobalt atoms coordinated with oxygen atoms...
