An electrolyte for lithium-sulfur batteries and lithium-sulfur batteries containing the same

摘要

A lithium-sulfur battery including a positive electrode having at least one positive active material selected from the group consisting of an elemental sulfur, Li 2 S n (n‰¥1), Li 2 S n (n‰¥1) dissolved in catholytes, an organosulfur compound, and a carbon-sulfur polymer ((C 2 S x ) n : x = 2.5ˆ¼50, n‰¥2), an electrolyte having salts of an organic cation, and a negative electrode having a negative active material selected from the group consisting of a material capable of reversibly intercalating/deintercalating lithium ions, a material capable of reversibly forming a lithium-containing compound by a reaction with lithium ions, a lithium metal, and a lithium alloy.
