Schematic of a Li–S battery with Au24Pt(PET)18@G-modified battery separator for a lithium-sulfur battery.

Caption

The gold nanoclusters in the graphene (G) nanosheet facilitate the adsorption of lithium polysulfide species (LiPSs) and catalytic reduction of sulfur (S8) to LiPSs to Li2S2/Li2S and oxidation of Li2S/Li2S2 to LiPSs to S8.
