An in situ chemically and physically confined sulfur-polymer composite for lithium-sulfur batteries with carbonate-based electrolytes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Dec 13;54(100):14093-14096. doi: 10.1039/c8cc07623e.

Abstract

An in situ chemically and physically confined sulfur-polymer composite (denoted as SPANI) is synthesized by sulfurizing PANI through a one-step thermal treatment. The SPANI cathode exhibits excellent cycling stability in commercial carbonate-based electrolytes. It offers a new insight into sulfur cathode design for high performance Li-S batteries.
