title: High performance Li-ion sulfur batteries enabled by intercalation chemistry.
abstract: The unstable interface of lithium metal in high energy density Li sulfur (Li-S) batteries raises concerns of poor cycling, low efficiency and safety issues, which may be addressed by using intercalation types of anode. Herein, a new prototype of Li-ion sulfur battery with high performance has been demonstrated by coupling a graphite anode with a sulfur cathode (2 mA h cm(-2)) after successfully addressing the interface issue of graphite in an ether based electrolyte.
