Multifunctional Sandwich‐Structured Electrolyte for High‐Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Due to its high theoretical energy density (2600 Wh kg-1), low cost, and environmental benignity, the lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is attracting strong interest among the various electrochemical energy storage systems. However, its practical application is seriously hampered by the so-called shuttle effect of the highly soluble polysulfides. Herein, a novel design of multifunctional sandwich-s...

Multifunctional Structural Composite Batteries for U.s. Army Applications

We are developing structural polymeric composites with battery functionality. These devices carry structural loads while simultaneously storing electrochemical energy. If designed with sufficient structural and energy efficiency, these materials could enable significant system-level weight reductions by replacing inert structural components while providing supplementary power for light load app...

Multifunctional SA-PProDOT Binder for Lithium Ion Batteries.

An environmentally benign, highly conductive, and mechanically strong binder system can overcome the dilemma of low conductivity and insufficient mechanical stability of the electrodes to achieve high performance lithium ion batteries (LIBs) at a low cost and in a sustainable way. In this work, the naturally occurring binder sodium alginate (SA) is functionalized with 3,4-propylenedioxythiophen...
