Abstract:
There is provided a cathode material comprising a layer of sulfur species dispersed within or thereon a porous matrix comprising a first conducting carbon material, a second conducting carbon material and a binder, wherein the second conducting carbon material is carbon fiber or carbon nanotube. There is also provided a cathode material comprising a layer of sulfur species dispersed within or thereon a porous matrix comprising a first conducting carbon material, a second conducting carbon material and a binder, wherein said porous matrix is interconnected with uniform pores. There are also provided methods for preparing the above cathode material(s).
