Li-S batteries with a high theoretical capacity are considered as the most promising candidate to satisfy the increasing demand for batteries with a high areal capacity. However, the low sulfur loading (< 2 mg cm(-2)) and poor flexibility of current Li-S batteries limit their application in establishing foldable Li-S batteries with a high areal capacity. To solve this problem, we employ here a freestanding flexible tandem sulfur cathode with a remarkably high sulfur loading to demonstrate foldable, high-areal-capacity Li-S batteries. The design of the tandem cathode readily increases the sulfur loading and effectively retards the migration of polysulfides. Therefore, the Li-S cell employing the tandem cathode exhibits a high initial areal capacity of 12.3 mA h cm(-2) with stable cycling stability even with a high sulfur loading of up to 16 mg cm(-2). These tandem cathodes are promising for foldable Li-S cells with a high areal capacity and energy density.
