Development in Lithium/Sulfur Secondary Batteries

This paper reviews different modification methods to cathode, anode and electrolyte materials in view of their electrochemical properties for application in lithium/sulfur batteries. In the sulfur electrode, carbonaceous materials, conductive polymer materials, and metal oxide adsorbing materials are employed to enhance conductivity and reduce polysulfide dissolution. The effects of anodes and novel electrolytes, such as gel polymer, solid polymer and solid ceramic electrolytes, are reviewed.
