Polysulfide-based RFBs are eligible candidates for energy storage due to their high solubility, and the vast availability of redox active materials ensures their low cost; 18–21 for instance, Li et al. However, the sluggish kinetics of polysulfide redox reactions at conventional carbon-based electrodes limit their performance. To address these concerns and enhance energy density, all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have emerged as a safer and more efficient alternative to conventional liquid electrolyte-based systems.
