Electrocatalytic and stoichiometric reactivity of 2D layered siloxene for high‐energy‐dense lithium–sulfur batteries
Abstract Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) have emerged as promising power sources for high‐performance devices such as electric vehicles. However, the poor energy density of LSBs owing to polysulfide shuttling and passivation has limited their further market penetration. To mitigate this challenge, t...
