Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have emerged as a promising solution due to their high theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg⁻¹), abundant sulfur resources, and cost-effectiveness. However, several challenges, including the inherent low electrical conductivity of sulfur, sluggish reaction kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), and the severe shuttle effect, hinder the commercialization of LSBs. MXene-based materials, known for their high conductivity, strong lithophilicity, and mechanical strength, offer potential solutions to these issues. This review summarizes recent advancements in the application of MXene materials in LSB components, including methods for synthesizing and modifying MXene surfaces. The impact of these modifications on the electrochemical performance of LSBs is discussed, with particular emphasis on how MXene composites can enhance the performance of both electrodes and separators. Additionally, the application of MXene in lithium sulfide (Li₂S) cathodes is explored, highlighting both opportunities and challenges.

The risk of LIBs thermal runaway (TR) and fire is one of the concerns that hinders the market expansion of high nickel LIB-powered electric vehicles and e-mobilities. A primary cause of TR is the significant flammability of traditional organic liquid electrolyte that includes highly flammable linear carbonate solvent. Replacing traditional flammable liquid electrolyte with a well-formulated nonflammable liquid one, along with construction of both a thermally durable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on anode and cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) on cathode, is a promising first step in mitigating TR issue. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that the nonflammable fluorinated carbonates and standard lithium salt concentration (1.0 M)-based liquid electrolyte formulation with promoted Li⁺ transference number enables the prevention of TR of industrial 800 mAh graphite//LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂(NCM811) pouch cell and outstanding 600 cycles performance at 1 C delivering 81 % capacity retention, without Li dendrites.

Vacancy defects primarily modulate electronic structures to enhance CO₂ adsorption and stabilize intermediates, while heteroatom doping tailors active sites and lowers energy barriers for C-C coupling. Crucially, synergistic interactions between vacancies and dopants amplify charge transfer and intermediate stabilization, transcending the limitations of isolated defects. Challenges in defect density control, spatial uniformity, and operational stability are critically discussed.

However, how to understand the complex reconstruction mechanism and precisely control the in-situ reconstruction to sustain activity alongside stability under the in-situ reconstruction of electrocatalysts remains a huge challenge. Consequently, in order to further advance the understanding, control, and utilization of electrochemical in-situ reconstruction, it is highly necessary to jointly establish a precise design system ranging from pre-catalysts to electrochemical reaction conditions, and achieve an optimal trade-off between structure and performance.
