Abstract: Flexible electronic devices have attracted much attention since they came into people's sight. Flexible energy storage device with high energy density is one of the key components to promote the development of flexible electronic devices. In a variety of new flexible energy storage devices, the lithium-sulfur battery with high energy density and theoretical specific capacity is an ideal choice for future flexible battery system. In recent years, lithium-sulfur batteries have been studied in depth; however, due to limitation between high energy density and electrode flexibility, the development of flexible lithium-sulfur batteries have been faced with serious constraints. In this paper, the design of flexible electrode, separators and lithium-sulfur batteries are briefly introduced. Specifically, the basic method of constructing flexible cathode and anode materials is analyzed, the necessity of integration and testing methods in flexible lithium-sulfur batteries for the future application is described, and perspectives regarding the development trend of flexible lithium-sulfur batteries have been discussed. It also includes a prospective discussion upon the challenges and future development trends.
