Dual Kinetic Promotion of Sulfur Redox Reactions in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries Driven by a Magneto-optical Synergistic Effect

Photoassisted lithium-sulfur batteries (PA-LSBs) leverage photogenerated carriers to accelerate the sulfur redox kinetics, yet their performance is often limited by the rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs. Herein, we propose a Lorentz force-assisted carrier separation strategy to enhance the photocatalytic activity and overcome this limitation.
