The slow redox kinetics of polysulfides and the difficulties in decomposition of Li 2 S during the charge and discharge processes are two serious obstacles to the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries. Herein, we construct the Fe-Co diatomic catalytic materials supported by hollow carbon...
