Abstract: [Objective]Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries have garnered significant attention owing to their high theoretical energy density. However,their practical application is hindered by thesubstantial volume expansion of the sulfur cathode during charge-discharge cycling and the lithiumpolysulfide(LiPSs)shuttle effect,which collectively result in poor cycling stability and a short lifespan. Conventional non-aqueous poly(vinylidene fluoride)( PVDF) binders are inadequate in mitigating these challenges.[Methods]A novel aqueous polymer binder for the sulfur cathode,TA-PEGDA-SBMA(TPS), was prepared. This binder was synthesized via the ring-opening self-polymerization of hioctic acid(TA), incorporating a short-chain polyether crosslinker(PEGDA) and a zwitterionic compound(SBMA), with the aim of enhancing the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries.[Results]The sulfur cathode employing the TPS binder exhibited an initial discharge specific capacityof 1 127. 6 mAh/g at 0. 25 C and maintained a capacity of 835. 1 mAh/g after 300 stable cycles, corresponding to a capacity retention of 74. 06%. Remarkably,it exhibited an outstanding rate capability,retaining a high discharge specific capacity of 833. 6 mAh/g even at a high current density of 2. 0 C. The sulfur cathode employing this binder exhibited an average peel strength of 1. 63 N,ensuring the structural stability of the sulfur cathode during charge-discharge cycling. Furthermore,its abundant polar functional groups and charged moieties effectively improved the“shuttle effect”of LiPSs.[Conclusion] TPS binder can effectively suppress the volume variation of sulfur cathodes and theshuttle effect of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs). Consequently,the TPS binder significantly improved boththe rate capability and cycling performance of Li-S batteries,offering a promising strategy for the development of high-performance,high-energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries.
