Elemental sulfur has been proposed as promising cathode materials for the next generation of high-performance rechargeable lithium batteries due to their high theoretical capacity. However, they exhibit low utilization and fast capacity fades in lithium batteries due to their electrically and ionically insulated nature as well as solvent-solubility. Therefore, the cathode material must be well combined with a conductive agent when prepared as an electrode.
In this study, three types of sulfur comp...
