Enthalpy-Entropy Molecular Design of Gel Polymer Electrolytes for Regulating Solvation Chemistry in Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.
Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) show great promise in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, but their practical application is limited by the high enthalpy of Li+ desolvation and the slow conversion rate of polysulfides, which disrupt the redox pathway and accelerate capacity decay. Here, we propose an enthalpy-entropy mole...
