Cover Story: To promote the effective utilization of abundant sulfur resources, a novel high-sulfur-content resin was synthesized via a radical reaction between sulfur and dithiol compounds and applied as a cathode material in lithium–sulfur secondary batteries. The synthesized high-sulfur-content resin can be easily plastically deformed without heating and demonstrates high adhesion, elongation, and self-healing capabilities. Furthermore, taking advantage of its ability to dissolve in specific organic solvents, we propose a new method for dispersing/filling sulfur compounds into porous carbon in a solution state. A lithium–sulfur secondary battery using a cathode composed of a composite of high-sulfur-content resin and porous carbon exhibited high discharge capacity and capacity retention during the initial cycles.
