Lithium–sulfur batteries—composed of a sulfur-based cathode and lithium anode submerged in a liquid electrolyte—are promising candidates to replace the ubiquitous lithium-ion battery because of their low cost and the non-toxicity and abundance of sulfur. However, carbon-based hosts cannot trap LiPS.
