Amorphization-induced surface electronic states modulation of cobaltous oxide nanosheets for lithium-sulfur batteries

Regulating the adsorption behaviour of the polysulfide species is the key to achieving highly stable Li-S batteries. Here, the authors show that amorphization-induced redistribution of d orbitals enable CoO to be a favourable candidate for polysulfide adsorption and conversion.
