Owing to their promising applications including, aircrafts, military field, and submarines, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries with high energy density (2500 W h kg −1 ) are emerging as the next-generation energy storage system with low cost to replace lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, the road to c...
