چکیده
A Li-sulfur cell with a high discharge capacity of over 1300 mAh g(-1) at a C/10 rate, and a controlled overcharge amount less than 1%, was manufactured by synthesizing a carbon-sulfur nano-composite via a wet milling process, and suppressing polysulfide dissolution using an electrolyte with a highly concentrated lithium salt.

A lithium-ion sulfur battery using a polymer, polysulfide-added membrane
In this paper we report the performances of a lithium-ion sulfur battery characterized by a polymer configuration. The cell, based on a sulfur-carbon cathode, a Li-Sn-C nanostructured anode and a PEO-based, polysulfide-added electrolyte, shows very good electrochemical performances in terms of stability and delivered capacity. The remarkable cell performances are ascribed to the mitigation of t...
متن کاملUnique aqueous Li-ion/sulfur chemistry with high energy density and reversibility.
Leveraging the most recent success in expanding the electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolytes, in this work we create a unique Li-ion/sulfur chemistry of both high energy density and safety. We show that in the superconcentrated aqueous electrolyte, lithiation of sulfur experiences phase change from a high-order polysulfide to low-order polysulfides through solid-liquid two-phase...
متن کاملConductive framework of inverse opal structure for sulfur cathode in lithium-sulfur batteries
As a promising cathode inheritor for lithium-ion batteries, the sulfur cathode exhibits very high theoretical volumetric capacity and energy density. In its practical applications, one has to solve the insulating properties of sulfur and the shuttle effect that deteriorates cycling stability. The state-of-the-art approaches are to confine sulfur in a conductive matrix. In this work, we utilize ...
متن کاملFree standing acetylene black mesh to capture dissolved polysulfide in lithium sulfur batteries.
Herein, we report a cheap and simple approach to solve the polysulfide dissolution problem in lithium sulfur batteries. It was interestingly revealed that a simple insertion of acetylene black mesh enabled us to obtain the capacity of 1491 mA h g(-1) at initial discharge and 1062 mA h g(-1) after 50 cycles.
متن کاملBalancing surface adsorption and diffusion of lithium-polysulfides on nonconductive oxides for lithium–sulfur battery design
Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted attention due to their six-fold specific energy compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries. Dissolution of lithium polysulfides, volume expansion of sulfur and uncontrollable deposition of lithium sulfide are three of the main challenges for this technology. State-of-the-art sulfur cathodes based on metal-oxide nanostructures can suppress the shuttl...
