Regulating adsorption ability toward polysulfides in a porous carbon/Cu3P hybrid for an ultrastable high‐temperature lithium–sulfur battery

Abstract Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) can work at high temperatures, but they suffer from poor cycle life stability due to the “shuttle effect” of polysulfides. In this study, pollen‐derived porous carbon/cuprous phosphide (PC/Cu3P) hybrids were rationally synthesized using a one‐step carbonizati...
