Abstract: A binder for a lithium-sulfur electrode is proposed. The binder can improve the capacity and lifespan characteristics of a lithium-sulfur secondary battery by suppressing the shuttle reaction due to the elution of polysulfide through the interaction of lithium polysulfide while maintaining the binding characteristics of the binder. This binder may be used for a positive electrode and a lithium-sulfur secondary battery. The binder may include a modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF)-based binder that is soluble in an organic solvent. The modified PVdF-based binder may include a PVdF-based main chain and a functional group having a carboxylic group or carbonyl group grafted as a side chain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cathode containing a solid superacid to improve the electrochemical properties and lifetime properties of the cathode using sulfur as an active material, and to a lithium-sulfur secondary battery including the cathode. According to an embodiment, a cathode for a lithium-sulfur secondary battery contains sulfur and a solid superacid. Since the solid superacid in the cathode does not affect the electrochemical properties of the cathode containing sulfur, it is possible to utilize sulfur itself as the cathode active material without technical processing. As a result, it is possible to minimize a reduction in the energy density of the lithium-sulfur secondary battery. In addition, the solid superacid in the cathode can improve the long-term lifetime properties of the lithium-sulfur secondary battery by controlling the polysulfide which is an intermediate product of the charging and discharging reactions of lithium and sulfur.
