Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is highly regarded as a promising next-generation energy storage device but suffers from sluggish sulfur redox kinetics.Probing the behavior and mechanism of the sulfur species on electrocatalytic surface is the first step to rationally introduce polysulfide electrocatalysts for kinetic pro-motion in a working battery.Herein,crystalline lithium sulfide (Li2S) is exclusively observed on electro-catalytic surface with uniform spherical morphology while Li2S on non-electrocatalytic surface is amorphous and irregular.Further characterization indicates the crystalline Li2S preferentially partici-pates in the discharge/charge process to render reduced interfacial resistance,high sulfur utilization,and activated sulfur redox reactions.Consequently,crystalline Li2S is proposed with thermodynamic and kinetic advantages to rationalize the superior performances of Li-S batteries.The evolution of solid Li2S on electrocatalytic surface not only addresses the polysulfide electrocatalysis strategy,but also inspires further investigation into the chemistry of energy-related processes.
