The present invention relates to a sulfurelectrode composition for a lithium-sulfur battery, comprising: a cellulosenanofiber binder; and an active material comprising sulfur. Thereby, the sulfur electrode for a lithium-sulfur battery of the present invention maximizes the utilization rate and conversion reaction rate of sulfur in a lithium-sulfur battery even under minimal electrolyte conditions by introducing cellulose nanofibers as a binder, and the distance between the expanded glucose chains formed due to the one-dimensional structure and electrostatic repulsion of the cellulose nanofibers promotes the interaction between the binder and lithium polysulfide (LiPS), and effectively suppresses the formation of aggregates of lithium polysulfide (LiPS). Therefore, a lithium-sulfur battery including such a sulfur electrode maintains a high active material ratio even under minimal electrolyte conditions while increasing the electrochemical conversion reaction rate, thereby improving battery performance and significantly increasing energy density.
A sulfurelectrode and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The method for manufacturing the sulfurelectrode includes: growing carbon fibers on a surface of stainless steel; connecting the stainless steel on which the carbon fibers are grown to a cathode of a current controller in an aqueous solution in which sulfur ions are dissolved; and forming a sulfur thin film on each of surfaces of the carbon fibers grown on the surface of the stainless steel and in each of spaces between the carbon fibers by controlling a current of the current controller.
