Impact of the Sulfurized Polyacrylonitrile Cathode Microstructure on the Electrochemical Performance of Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

ABSTRACT: The growing demand for advanced energy storage systems requires the development of next-generation battery technologies with superior energy density and cycle stability, with lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries representing a promising solution. Sulfur-containing polyacrylonitrile cathodes (SPAN) for Li-S batteries are a significant advancement for this next-generation battery chemistry, addressing the major issue of limited cycle life encountered in conventional carbon/sulfur composite cathodes. In the presented study, the influence of available ionic and electronic conduction pathways within the cathode on the electrochemical performance of SPAN-based Li-S batteries is studied in details. To this end, a series of SPAN cathodes with different microstructures is prepared by adapting the compre
