摘要: Abstract Commercialized conductive slurry consisting of polyacrylamide (PAM) and two kinds carbon black was coated on the surface sulfur cathode. The hybrid PAM/C coating not only physically blocks but also chemically anchors polysulfides within cathode, confining their out-diffusion shuttle. Besides, flexible highly-conductive layer buffers volume change cathode during discharge-charge process reduces charge transfer resistance. A specific capacity as high ∼900 mAh g−1 after 300 cycles is demonstrated for which a significant improvement reversible cycle capability compared to uncoated or conventional PVDF/C
