Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are highly attractive as energy storage devices due to their low cost and high energy density. The undesired capacity degradation caused by the polysulfide shuttle, however, has hindered their commercialization. Herein, a CoO nanoneedle array on carbon cloth (CC@CoO) nanocomposite has been prepared and demonstrated for the first time as a multifunctional “super-reservoir” electrode to prolong the cycle life of Li-S batteries. Owing to the polar surface of the CoO nanoneedle array, soluble lithium polysulfides (LiS, 4 < n < 8) can be effectively absorbed and then transformed to insoluble LiS/LiS which evenly covers the surface of the CoO nanoneedle during the discharge process. Further, during the charge process, the CoO nanoneedle can catalyze the electrochemical transformation of LiS/LiS into soluble polysulfides. A high initial capacity of 1231 mA h g at 0.5C and a slow capacity decay of 0.049%/cycle at 2.0C over 500 cycles were achieved; excellent rate performance was also obtained.
