Presently, researchers’ and experts are currently dealing with ways to maintain and improve the best performance of several energy storage technologies. This review focuses on how adding carbon derivatives to lithium sulfur battery (LiSBs) electrodes can reduce capacity fade, resistance, breakdown and poor performance while also enabling the best possible use of LiSBs in a variety of devices. Their rate as regards specific capacitance, energy and power densities, life duration, lightweight, etc., are among these optimal performances. The global energy crisis focused more scientists’ attention on how to enhance the performance of LiSBs devices for the benefit of humanity. Numerous carbon derivatives, including GO, rGO, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), etc., have advantageous properties that raise the efficiency of energy storage technologies. This review looked at LiSBs and the impact of carbon derivatives addition on their storage capability, cycle stability, life span and durability.
