Abstract Because of high energy density, abundant storage, low cost and environmental friendliness, lithium-sulfur batteries have been expected as one of the most promising energy storage system. However, the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries is dramatically hindered by the problems such as poor electro-conductivity of sulfur, dissolution and shuttle effect of polysulfide and volume expansion during charging and discharging process. The above issues can be solved to a certain extent through using sulfur host to limit and encapsulate sulfur. However, the low sulfur content and active material utilization of traditional sulfur-based composite cathodes greatly limit the development of lithium-sulfur batteries with high energy density. Therefore, it is an effective means to exploit the sulfur cathode materials with high performance and high sulfur content for the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries. Aimed at increasing the sulfur content of sulfur cathodes, this review summarizes the research progress of three kinds of sulfur-based composite materials for lithium-sulfur batteries in recent years, including carbon-sulfur composites, transition metal compounds-sulfur composites and organosulfur. The synthetic methods, chemical structure and their effect on the confinement and kinetics acceleration for sulfur and polysulfide are deeply discussed, and the future development of high sulfur content cathode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries is finally prospected.
