a Density of powder mixture including sulfur, carbon and binder, and porosity of the final electrode among four different cases. The error bars (standard deviation) of density were calculated based on 10 sets of data and the error bars (standard deviation) of porosity were calculated based on 5 sets of data. b Tensile test and indentation test of cathodes with CMC/G and pure CMC as binder. c Steady-state shear flow behaviour. Peeling test d Force versus displacement plots of the peeling test among four samples; e, f Photos of the peeling test setup and i–l microstructures of binder for corresponding samples (e and i cathodes with pure CMC as binder; f and j cathodes with 0.67CMC + 0.33 G as binder; g and k cathodes with 0.5CMC + 0.5G as binder; h, l cathodes with pure glucose as binder).
