Methodological insights into sulfur immobilization techniques on commercial carbon for lithium-sulfur batteries.

ABSTRACT: Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are considered as some of the most promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their high theoretical capacity and energy density. However, their practical application is hindered by challenges such as the shuttle effect, low conductivity of sulfur, and volume changes during cycling. A key factor to address these issues is the strategy used to incorporate sulfur into the carbon host, which significantly affects the cathode structure and electrochemical performance. In this study, we compare four distinct sulfur immobilization strategies - chemical precipitation (ChP), ball milling infiltration (BM), dissolution-crystallization (DC), and melt diffusion (MD) - using acetylene black (AB) as a conventional conductive carbon host. Each method yields A
