Problems solved by technology

Second, the electrical conductivity of sulfur and lithium sulfide is extremely low. In order to carry out the electrochemical reaction, a conductive agent (usually a carbon material) and a binder must be added to the positive electrode to form a conductive carbon skeleton.
In 2010, Elazari et al. conducted AFM tests and found that the conductivity of the positive electrode continued to decrease as the number of cycles increased.
In particular, the method of adding a lithium sulfide solubilizer to the electrolyte to improve the rate performance of lithium-sulfur batteries used in this paper has not yet been published in any literature or patent reports.
