NOVELTY - Composition (103) comprises: 1-17.5 wt.% ionomer composition comprising hydrocarbon ionomer; and 1-99 wt.% carbon-sulfur composite comprising carbon powder having a surface area of 50-4000 m2/g and a pore volume of 0.5-6 cc/g, and 5-95 wt.% sulfur compound.    USE - The composition is useful in layering, electrodes and cell that is associated with at least one of a portable battery, a power source for an electrified vehicle, a power source for an ignition system of a vehicle and a power source for a mobile device (all claimed) and energy storage applications.    ADVANTAGE - The composition: provides lithium-sulfide cells with high coulombic efficiencies, high sulfur utilization, reduced capacity fade with sulfur loss, high maximum discharge capacities without fouling the surfaces of the negative electrode, requiring high loadings of sulfur compound and binder, capacity degradation, anode-deposited sulfur compounds and poor conductivities intrinsic to sulfur; and provides electrodes without structural difficulties.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (1) making the composition comprising combining ionomer composition and carbon-sulfur composite;    (2) a layering comprising many coatings that comprise respective compositions based on at least one composition, where the respective compositions comprise at least one of ionomer composition, carbon-sulfur composite and at least one component other than ionomer composition and the composite;    (3) making the layering, comprising: combining at least one solvent with the composition to make at least one mixture for coatings; and applying the mixture to make coatings forming the layering;    (4) an electrode comprising: a circuit contact; and the composition or the layering; and    (5) a method for using a cell (100), comprising at least one of converting chemical energy stored in the cell into electrical energy; and converting electrical energy into chemical energy stored in the cell, where the cell comprises a negative electrode (101), a circuit (104) coupling a positive electrode (102) with the negative electrode, an electrolyte medium, and a positive electrode, where the positive electrode comprises at least one of the layering or composition.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic two-dimensional perspective view of lithium-sulfide cell incorporating the hydrocarbon ionomer positive electrode.
