A multi-core–shell structured composite cathode material with a conductive polymer network for Li–S batteries

Abstract

A multi-core-shell with a conductive network structured C-PANI-S@PANI composite with high sulfur content up to 87% was synthesized. The composite cathode delivers higher specific capacity and excellent cycle stability, retaining a reversible discharge capacity of 835 mA h g(-1) after 100 cycles when the sulfur loading of the cathode was above 6 mg cm(-2).
