Recently, the team of Associate Professor Zhang Yayun and Professor Long Donghui from the School of Chemical Engineering, ECUST, has made new progress in the design of catalysts for high energy density lithium-sulfur batteries. The research article was published in Advanced Materials with the title “Enhanced Electron Delocalization Within Coherent Nano-heterocrystal Ensembles for Optimizing Polysulfide Conversion in High-Energy-Density Li-S Batteries”.

The research article was co-first authored by Master students Zhao Zhiqiang and Pan Yuhong, and co-corresponding authored by Associate Professor Zhang Yayun and Professor Long Donghui. The research has been funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Shanghai Young Scientific and Technological Talents Sailing Plan and Shanghai Talent Development Fund.
