"properly designed catalytic electrode material accelerates charging and discharging, mitigate side reactions, and improve cycle life, battery capacity... problem side reaction where lithium polysulfide intermediates migrate (shuttle effect) to lithium metal anode, consuming both sulfur and lithium leading to energy loss and rapidly reduced storage capacity... carbon-based electrodes doped with sulfur and nitrogen facilitate electrocatalysis converting unwanted polysulfide Li2S4 intermediate into Li2S, solving the issue"
