The invention relates to a lithium-sulfur battery. An electrolyte of the lithium-sulfur battery consists of solvent molecules, solute positive ions, and solute negative ions; the molar concentration of the solute in the electrolyte is 0.1-10M; the solute positive ions comprise one or more than two kinds of alkali metal positive ions, alkaline earth metal positive ions, quaternary ammonium ions, pyridinylamino ions, imidazolylamino ions, quaternary phosphonate positive ions, pyrimidinium positive ions, pyrazolium positive ions, pyridazinium positive ions, thiazolium positive ions, oxazolium positive ions, triazolium positive ions and phosphonium and ammonium positive ions, and the molar concentration of the solute positive ions is 0.1-10M. The charging process of the lithium-sulfur battery is opposite to that of a conventional lithium-sulfur battery, so that the problem that lithium polysulfide is dissolved into the electrolyte and diffused to a negative electrode is solved fundamentally; and the electrolyte is in a liquid state, so that the problem of electrode interface mass transfer existing in an all-solid-state electrolyte does not exist.
