Figure 6. (A) Schematic illustration of GB-Y binder preparation and enhancing polysulfides kinetic conversion mechanism. The figure is quoted with permission from Zhou et al.^[118]; (B) Optimized hydrogen-bonded CMC-Ce binder configuration; (C) Optimized structures of different polysulfide species adsorption on CMC-Ce binder and corresponding binding energy profiles; (D) Li⁺ migration paths on CMC-Ce binder. The figures are quoted with permission from Zhou et al.^[119]. GB-Y: gelatin and boric acid cross-linked with rare earth yttrium-pyridine complex; Pdc-Y: rare earth yttrium-pyridine complex; CMC: carboxymethyl cellulose.
