Dual redox mediators accelerate the electrochemical kinetics of lithium-sulfur batteries

The sluggish electrochemical kinetics of sulfur species remains a major hurdle for the broad adoption of lithium-sulfur batteries. Here, the authors construct an energy diagram of sulfur species to unveil their reaction pathways and propose a general strategy to accelerate electrochemical reactions.
