ABSTRACT=lithium-sulfur batteries have received increasing research interest due to their superior theoretical capacity, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness. However, the commercial realization of Lithium-sulfur batteries faces critical obstacles, such as the significant volume change of sulfur cathodes over the de/lithiation processes, uncontrollable shuttle effects of polysulfides, and the lithium dendrite issue etc. On the basis, the Lithium-sulfur battery based on solid-state electrolytes were developed to alleviate the above problems. This paper aim to provide an overview of the recent progress of solid-state Lithium-sulfur batteries related to various kinds of solid-state electrolytes, which mainly include three aspects: the fundamentals and current status of Lithium-sulfur solid-state batteries, several adopted solid-state electrolytes involving polymer electrolyte, inorganic solid electrolyte, and hybrid electrolyte. Further, the future perspective for Lithium-sulfur solid-state batteries are presented. Finally, this paper proposed an initiate new and practical research activities and pave the way for the design of usable Lithium-sulfur solid-state batteries.
