Cover Story: Se-based cathode materials have attracted significant interest for use in lithium-ion batteries due to their tremendous number of advantages, including their low cost, high volumetric capacity, high density, potential to be cycled to high voltage without failure, and ecological friendliness. Nevertheless, their low electrical conductivity, low coulombic efficiency, and polyselenide solubility in electrolytes impair the performance of Li–Se batteries, resulting in them being unacceptable for practical use. Here, we present different studies to overcome these hurdles. Additionally, challenges and prospects are presented, and we aim to provide a possible pathway for the creation of high-performance Li–Se batteries for use in the real world. View this paper
