The modern era demands the development of energy storage devices with high energy density and power density. There is no doubt that lithium‒sulfur batteries (Li‒S) claim high theoretical energy density and have attracted great attention from researchers, but fundamental exploration and practical applications cannot converge to utilize their maximum potential. The design parameters of Li-S batteries involve various complex mechanisms, and their obliviousness has resulted in failure at the commercial level. This article presents a review on rationally designed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for improving next-generation Li-S batteries. The use of MOFs in Li-S batteries is of great interest because of their large surface area, porous structure, and selective permeability for ions. The working principles of Li-S batteries, the commercialization of Li-S batteries, and the use of MOFs as electrodes, electrolytes, and separators are critically examined. Finally, designed strategies (host structure, binder improvement, separator modification, lithium metal protection, and electrolyte optimization) are developed to increase the performance of Li-S batteries.
现代社会需要开发具有高能量密度和功率密度的储能装置。毫无疑问，锂硫电池（Li-S）具有很高的理论能量密度，已引起研究人员的极大关注，但基础探索和实际应用未能结合起来以充分发挥其最大潜力。锂硫电池的设计参数涉及各种复杂机制，而对这些机制的忽视导致其在商业层面上的失败。本文综述了为改进下一代锂硫电池而合理设计的金属有机框架（MOF）。MOF因其大表面积、多孔结构和对离子的选择性渗透性而在锂硫电池中的应用备受关注。本文对锂硫电池的工作原理、锂硫电池的商业化以及MOF作为电极、电解质和隔膜的应用进行了批判性研究。最后，制定了设计策略（主体结构、粘结剂改进、隔膜改性、锂金属保护和电解质优化）以提高锂硫电池的性能。
