Achieving high energy density has been the focus of research in rechargeable batteries. Lithium-sulfur system is attractive due to its high theoretical energy density (2500 Wh kg(-1)). The major problem in Li-S system is associated with the dissolution of lithium polysulfides formed at the cathode during discharge. Shuttling of polysulfides between the cathode and anode during cycling reduces the efficiency of cycling. In the present study, TiO2 nanotubes are prepared from nanoparticles by hydrothermal route. Titania-sulfur composite has been prepared by infiltrating sulfur solution into the TiO2 nanotubes and studied as a cathode material in a non-aqueous electrolyte. Cycling behavior of Li-S cells fabricated using pristine sulfur and TiO2 nanoparticle-sulfur composite is also studied for comparison. Cells with TiO2 nanotubes exhibit better discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency than the cells with TiO2 nanoparticles and pristine sulfur.
