Disclosed is a method for producing polymer-encapsulated Li 2 S x (where 1≤x≤2) nanoparticles. The method comprises the step of forming a mixture of a polymer and sulfur. The method further comprises vulcanizing the mixture at a vulcanization temperature attained at a heating rate, in a vulcanization atmosphere, and electrochemically reducing a vulcanized product at a reduction potential. Also disclosed is a method for producing a battery component, the component comprising a cathode and a separator. |
