Herein, we are reporting the chemisorption effect of multiferroic doped sulfur/SWCNT cathode for Li-S batteries. Bismuth ferrite (BFO) is versatile multiferroic material having high polarization. We modified the composite cathode hydrothermally for the encapsulation of sulfur using SWCNT. The physical, morphological, and elemental analyses of cathode materials were studied using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, EDX, and XRF techniques.<br/>The electrochemical performance has been checked at various C -rates. In various C-rates conditions, we observed good cycle stability ~ 500 mAhg<sup>−1</sup> above 100 cycles at C/16 rate, and stable CE ~ 98% due to injection of BFO nanoparticles for chemisorption of polysulfide in the modified cathode. The detailed analysis will be presented during the meeting.
