A multifunctional solution to enhance capacity and stability in lithium-sulfur batteries: Incorporating hollow CeO2 nanorods into carbonized non-woven fabric as an interlayer

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) hold promise as the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their ultra-high theoretical capacity and remarkable cost-efficiency. However, these batteries suffer from the serious shuttle effect, challenging their practical application. To address this challenge, we have developed a unique interlayer (HCON@CNWF) composed of hollow cerium oxide nanorods (CeO
