Understanding the charge transfer effects of single atoms for boosting the performance of Na-S batteries

Y. Lei, X. Lu, et al.

This innovative study explores a groundbreaking single-atom-charging strategy to enhance the conductivity of room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries, a promising solution for energy storage. The authors have demonstrated how manganese single-atom catalysts can significantly improve electrochemical performance, targeting the long-standing issues of sulfur conductivity and problematic cathodic products.
