Lithium sulfur battery is a promising energy storage system due to its high specific energy density, low cost and environmental friendliness. But poor cycle performance has hindered its practical application.In this paper, the developing levels of lithium sulfur battery are introduced concisely. The important progress on the cathode materials, electrolytes, lithium anode and new battery composition of this battery system are reviewed. Furthermore, some investigation results in recent 5 years in this field of Chemical Defense Institute are mainly introduced. Firstly, two kinds of cathode materials, conducting polymer sulfides and mesoporous carbon/sulfur composites were prepared which improved the sulfur utilization and cycle performance. Compared with conducting polymer sulfides, mesoporous carbon/sulfur composites can embody more sulfur, so were preferable to high energy batteries. Secondly, an electrochemically stable binder, gelatin binder also functioned as a highly adhesive agent and an effective disperser was applied in lithium sulfur batteries. A novel porous sulfur cathode with the gelatin binder was prepared by using a freeze-drying mathod. Thirdly, a suitable electrolyte composition were investigated. Fourthly, the interface performance of lithium anode in lithium sulfur battery were studied. Integrating these technologies, the prototype polymer battery was assembled. It presented the energy density of more than 300Wh/kg, and showed about 60% remaining capacity after 100 cycles at 100% DOD. Finally, the prospects of the future research on lithium sulfur batteries are proposed.

Key words: lithium sulfur batteries, cathode materials, electrolytes, lithium anode, binder
