Regulating the catalyst electronic structure is critical for improving the adsorption and catalytic conver-sion of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)in lithium-sulfur batteries(Li-S),yet which has been overlooked in current studies.In this work,structurally defined Ag30Pd4 nanoclusters were loaded onto reduced gra-phene oxide(Ag30Pd4/rGO)as a modification material for polypropylene(PP)separators to elucidate the catalytic activity towards lithium polysulfides and the impact on the electrochemical properties to lithium sulfur batteries.This unique d-π combination promotes charge transfer,influences overall charge states,and further enhances adsorption energies in potential reaction pathways with lithium polysul-fides.Consequently,the Ag30Pd4/rGO/PP modified batteries exhibited an exceptionally low-capacity decay rate of 0.026%per cycle at 1.0C over 1000 stable cycles and 9.75 mAh cm-2 excellent performance even with lean electrolyte and high sulfur loading(9.7 mg cm-2).This study paves a path for employing ultrasmall bimetallic nanoclusters to promote the polysulfides redox kinetics hence boosting the lithium-sulfur battery performance.
