Abstract
Rechargeable metal–sulfur batteries with low-cost, soil-rich elemental sulfur as the cathode have attracted considerable attention, as they are crucial for working at room temperature due to their high energy density, high output efficiency, and convenient operation. However, the performance is limited by the low utilization of sulfur, severe volume expansion, and shuttle effect of polysulfides. To address these issues, a key strategy is to design carbon materials with excellent conductivity and high specific surface area, preferably with high chemical affinity and high sulfur loading. In this Review, the fundamentals of room-temperature metal–sulfur batteries and the rational design of carbon sulfur carriers are presented, going into the relationship between carbon sulfur hosts and battery performance. Recent developments are highlighted along with potential directions for future research. This comprehensive review aims to provide guidelines for the design of carbonaceous sulfur hosts and promising methods for the development of high-performance room-temperature metal–sulfur battery systems.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
