Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, known for its high energy density, are limited in practical application by lithium dendrite growth, polysulfide "shuttle effect", and safety issues. Gel polymer electrolytes that combine high ionic conductivity and safety are the key to solving these problems. Based on the special reaction mechanism of Li-S batteries, this paper summarizes in detail the GPE types for different key problems existing in cathodes and anodes, and discusses their corresponding action mechanisms and improvement methods. Finally, the current challenges and future development direction of GPEs for Li-S batteries are summarized and prospected.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) hold great promise as one of the next-generation power supplies for portable electronics and electric vehicles due to their ultrahigh energy density, cost effectiveness, and environmental benignity. However, their practical application has been impeded owing to the electronic insulation of sulfur and its intermediates, serious shuttle effect, large volume variation, and uncontrollable formation of lithium dendrites. Over the past decades, many pioneering strategies have been developed to address these issues via improving electrodes, electrolytes, separators and binders. Remarkably, polymers can be readily applied to all these aspects due to their structural designability, functional versatility, superior chemical stability and processability. Moreover, their lightweight and rich resource characteristics enable the production of LSBs with high-volume energy density at low cost. Surprisingly, there have been few reviews on development of polymers in LSBs. Herein, breakthroughs and future perspectives of emerging polymers in LSBs are scrutinized. Significant attention is centered on recent implementation of polymers in each component of LSBs with an emphasis on intrinsic mechanisms underlying their specific functions. The review offers a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art polymers for LSBs, provides in-depth insights into addressing key challenges, and affords important resources for researchers working on electrochemical energy systems.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (SSLSBs) with high energy densities and high safety have been considered among the most promising energy storage devices to meet the demanding market requirements for electric vehicles. However, critical challenges such as lithium polysulfide shuttling effects, mismatched interfaces, Li dendrite growth, and the gap between fundamental research and practical applications still hinder the commercialization of SSLSBs. This review aims to combine the fundamental and engineering perspectives to seek rational design parameters for practical SSLSBs. The working principles, constituent components, and practical challenges of SSLSBs are reviewed. Recent progress and approaches to understand the interfacial challenges via advanced characterization techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are summarized and discussed. A series of design parameters including sulfur loading, electrolyte thickness, discharge capacity, discharge voltage, and cathode sulfur content are systematically analyzed to study their influence on the gravimetric and volumetric energy densities of SSLSB pouch cells. The advantages and disadvantages of recently reported SSLSBs are discussed, and potential strategies are provided to address the shortcomings. Finally, potential future directions and prospects in SSLSB engineering are examined.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been expected for new-generation electrical energy storages, which are attributed to their high theoretical energy density, cost effectiveness, and eco-friendliness. But Li-S batteries still have some problems for practical application, such as low sulfur utilization and dissatisfactory capacity retention. Herein, we designed and fabricated a foldable and compositionally heterogeneous three-dimensional sulfur cathode with integrated sandwich structure. The electrical conductivity of the cathode is facilitated by three different dimension carbons, in which short-distance and long-distance pathways for electrons are provided by zero-dimensional ketjen black (KB), one-dimensional activated carbon fiber (ACF) and two-dimensional graphene (G). The resultant three-dimensional sulfur cathode (T-AKG/KB@S) with an areal sulfur loading of 2 mg cm-2 exhibits a high initial specific capacity, superior rate performance and a reversible discharge capacity of up to 726 mAh g-1 at 3.6 mA cm-2 with an inappreciable capacity fading rate of 0.0044% per cycle after 500 cycles. Moreover, the cathode with a high areal sulfur loading of 8 mg cm-2 also delivers a reversible discharge capacity of 938 mAh g-1 at 0.71 mA cm-2 with a capacity fading rate of 0.15% per cycle and a Coulombic efficiency of almost 100% after 50 cycles.

Abstract
The separator has an electrocatalytic effect for polysulfide transformation, and can confine the polysulfides within the cathode and block the dendritic lithium in the anode.
Lithium–sulfur batteries are one of the most promising next-generation batteries due to their high theoretical specific capacity, but are impeded by the low utilization of insulating sulfur, unstable morphology of the lithium metal anode, and transport of soluble polysulfides. Here, by coating a layer of nano titanium dioxide and carbon black onto a commercial polypropylene separator, we demonstrate a new composite separator that can confine the polysulfides on the cathode side, forming a catholyte chamber, and at the same time block the dendritic lithium on the anode side. Lithium–sulfur batteries using this separator show a high initial capacity of 1206 mA h g–1 and a low capacity decay rate of 0.1% per cycle at 0.5C. Analyses reveal the electrocatalytic effect and the excellent dendrite-blocking capability of the ∼7 µm thick coating.

Abstract
The research and development of advanced energy-storage systems must meet a large number of requirements, including high energy density, natural abundance of the raw material, low cost and environmental friendliness, and particularly reasonable safety. As the demands of high-performance batteries are continuously increasing, with large-scale energy storage systems and electric mobility equipment, lithium-sulfur batteries have become an attractive candidate for the new generation of high-performance batteries due to their high theoretical capacity (1675 mA h g-1) and energy density (2600 Wh kg-1). However, rapid capacity attenuation with poor cycle and rate performances make the batteries far from ideal with respect to real commercial applications. Outstanding breakthroughs and achievements have been made to alleviate these problems in the past ten years. This paper presents an overview of recent advances in lithium-sulfur battery research. We cover the research and development to date on various components of lithium-sulfur batteries, including cathodes, binders, separators, electrolytes, anodes, collectors, and some novel cell configurations. The current trends in materials selection for batteries are reviewed and various choices of cathode, binder, electrolyte, separator, anode, and collector materials are discussed. The current challenges associated with the use of batteries and their materials selection are listed and future perspectives for this class of battery are also discussed.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries are highly promising for electric energy storage with high energy density, abundant resources and low cost. However, the battery technologies have often suffered from a short cycle life and poor rate stability arising from the well-known “polysulfide shuttle” effect. Here, we report a novel cell design by sandwiching a sp3 boron based single ion conducting polymer electrolyte film between two carbon films to fabricate a composite separator for lithium-sulfur batteries. The dense negative charges uniformly distributed in the electrolyte membrane inherently prohibit transport of polysulfide anions formed in the cathode inside the polymer matrix and effectively blocks polysulfide shuttling. A battery assembled with the composite separator exhibits a remarkably long cycle life at high charge/discharge rates.
