- the positive electrode and the negative electrode were positioned to face each other, and then a test cell was prepared through a separator of porous polyethylene. Thereafter, 40 ⁇ l of polysulfide (Li 2 S n ) catholyte was dropped into the cathode material, and the voltage characteristics of each chain of Li 2 S n were measured.
- the type of polysulfide and the amount of sulfur (mg) added in 40 ⁇ l of the polysulfide cathode are shown in Table 4 below.

- the electrolyte contains supersaturated lithium polysulfide
- diffusion of polysulfide ions dissolved from the electrode can be suppressed to reduce active material loss, and polysulfide ions in the vicinity of the electrode are involved in the discharge reaction, thereby improving charge and discharge efficiency and cycle performance.
- the reaction activity was higher than that of the solid surface. .
