BLOCK COPOLYMER, CROSSLINKED BLOCK COPOLYMER COMPRISING BLOCK COPOLYMER, SULFUR-CARBON COMPOSITE, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SULFUR-CARBON COMPOSITE

Abstract

A sulfur-carbon composite of the present disclosure includes a crosslinked block copolymer, and the crosslinked block copolymer is manufactured from a block copolymer comprising a first block including a first repeating unit having a pyrene group at a terminal and a second block including a second repeating unit having a cationic functional group. As the crosslinked block copolymer is coated on the sulfur-carbon composite, it may be possible to prevent migration of lithium polysulfide leaking from a positive electrode of a lithium-sulfur battery to a negative electrode. Accordingly, it may be possible to prevent sulfur particle accumulation on lithium metal surface of the negative electrode, thereby maintaining charge/discharge capacity of the lithium-sulfur battery and improving battery life.
