Abstract

Abstract : In article number1700087, Yanglong Hou and co‐workers fabricate rational nanostructures of hollow carbon nanoboxes filled with birnessite‐type manganese oxide nanosheets (MnO2 @HCB) to overcome the obstacles of low sulfur loading, poor conductivity and redox shuttle of LSBs via effective physical confinement and chemical interaction to enhance the electrochemical performance of lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs).
