NOVELTY - A composition (C1) comprises: polymeric binder (1-17.5 wt.%); and carbon-sulfur composite (50-99 wt.%), where the carbon-sulfur composite comprises templated carbon having a surface area of 50-4000 square meters per g templated carbon, and a pore volume of 0.5-6 cubic centimeters per g templated carbon, where the templated carbon has a carbon microstructure that is complementary with an inorganic microstructure, a three-dimensional framework, of an inorganic template used in a process for making the templated carbon, and sulfur compound (5-95 wt.%).    USE - In a cell associated with at least one of portable battery, power source for an electrified vehicle, power source for an ignition system of vehicle and power source for mobile device (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The positive electrode incorporating the composition, in a cell of a Li-S battery, is associated with high maximum discharge capacity and high sulfur utilization properties of the battery. The maximum discharge capacity and sulfur utilization properties associated with positive electrodes comprising compositions, are surprisingly high. Without being bound by any particular theory, the high maximum discharge capacities observed on discharge in positive electrodes, appears to be a direct consequence of incorporating compositions comprising C-S composite including templated carbon in the positive electrodes.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) making a composition, involving: introducing a carbon precursor into an inorganic template; stabilizing carbon from the introduced carbon precursor to form a stabilized carbon in proximity with the inorganic template; removing the inorganic template from the stabilized carbon to form a templated carbon, where the templated carbon have a surface area of 50-4000 square meters per g templated carbon, and a pore volume of 0.5-6 cubic centimeters per g templated carbon, and where the templated carbon has a carbon microstructure that is complementary with an inorganic microstructure, a three-dimensional framework, of an inorganic template used in a process for making the templated carbon; and introducing an amount of sulfur compound into the templated carbon to form a carbon-sulfur composite comprising sulfur compound (5-95 wt.%);    (2) an electrode comprising: a circuit contact; and the composition (C1); and    (3) using a cell, involving 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, a positive electrode including a sulfur compound, a circuit coupling the positive electrode and negative electrode, and a lithium-containing electrolyte medium, where the positive electrode incorporates the composition (C1).
