As a result, the internal resistance of the sulfur cathode is high as these interfaces act as scattering centers for electron transport. Graphene, already shown to be effective when applied in other sulfur cathodes, can act as a “bridge” to form inter-connected networks, thereby reducing the internal resistances from each component.
