Is sulfur a good cathode for rechargeable batteries?

Sulfur stands as a very promising cathode candidate for the next-generation rechargeable batteries due to its high energy density, natural abundance, low cost and environmental friendliness. However, the application of lithium–sulfur batteries suffers from low sulfur utilization and poor cycle life of the sulfur cathode.

Are carbon based cathodes suitable for adsorption of sulfur?

Furthermore, the tap density of carbon-based materials is usually very low, which is unfavorable for the practical application of sulfur cathodes. Combining carbon materials with metallic oxides as the main sulfur body can show not only good conductivity but also strong adsorption capacity for sulfur and lithium PS.

Can lithium sulfide be used as active materials in lithium-sulfur batteries?

Traditionally, sulfur or lithium sulfide are conventionally utilized as active materials in lithium-sulfur batteries. To enhance the electronic and ionic conduction of active materials, it has been reported that coupling sulfur or lithium sulfide with solid electrolytes or various carbon materials can be effective .
