摘要

锂硫电池具有理论能量密度高、成本低、环境友好等优点，被认为是最有前景的下一代高能量密度电池之一。多硫化物的“穿梭效应”是阻碍锂硫电池商业化的关键问题。采用“催化”策略增强硫物种之间的氧化还原反应动力学已被证明是缓解“穿梭效应”的有效方法。单原子催化剂由于其均匀的金属活性中心、独特的电子特性和理论上100 %的金属原子利用效率，在催化领域得到了广泛关注。近年来，单原子催化剂被引入到锂硫电池体系中，以实现硫物种之间转化反应的快速动力学。本文以影响单原子催化剂活性的几个关键因素为主线，综述了单原子催化剂在锂硫电池领域应用的主要进展，并对锂硫电池用单原子催化剂的前景进行了展望。本文对未来设计制备高活性的锂硫电池用单原子催化剂提供了思路。

Abstract

Owing to advantages of high theoretical energy density

low cost and environmental friendliness

lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is considered as one of the most promising next-generation high-energy-density batteries. The "shuttle effect" of polysulfides is the key issue hindering the commercialization of Li-S batteries. Adoption of "catalytic" strategy to enhance the sulfur redox kinetics has been demonstrated to be an effective way to alleviate the "shuttle effect". Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received much attention in the field of catalysis due to their uniform metal active centers

unique electronic properties

and theoretically 100% metal atom utilization. In recent years

SACs have been introduced into Li-S systems and studied to achieve fast sulfur conversion kinetics. In this research

the latest progress in the application of SACs in Li-S batteries was reviewed

with special emphasis on the discussion of key factors affecting the catalytic activity of SACs. The prospects of SACs for Li-S batteries were pointed out and highlighted. Important guidance is provided for future design and fabrication of high-performance SACs for Li-S battery application.
