Lithium-sulfur batteries are highly promising for electric energy storage with high energy density, abundant resources and low cost. However, the battery technologies have often suffered from a short cycle life and poor rate stability arising from the well-known "polysulfide shuttle" effect. Here, we report a novel cell design by sandwiching a sp(3) boron based single ion conducting polymer ele...

in petrochemical industry, the production of polyvinyl chloride (pvc) is accompanied by formation of heavy end wastes which consist of a mixture of di and multichloro compounds as kind of materials which are generated in ethylene dichloride (edc) purifcation. a high quantity of chloro compounds found in the heavy end waste allows it to be polymerized with alkaline polysulfdes to form polysulfde...

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...

This paper reviews different modification methods to cathode, anode and electrolyte materials in view of their electrochemical properties for application in lithium/sulfur batteries. In the sulfur electrode, carbonaceous materials, conductive polymer materials, and metal oxide adsorbing materials are employed to enhance conductivity and reduce polysulfide dissolution. The effects of anodes and ...

Polymer solid state electrolytes are actively sought for their potential application in energy storage devices, particularly lithium metal rechargeable batteries. Herein, we report a polymer with high concentration salts as a quasi-solid state electrolyte used for lithium-sulfur cells, which shows an ionic conductivity of 1.6 mS cm(-1) at room temperature. The cycling performance of Li-S batter...

The discharge of water from oil fields is become one the most significant environmental concerns associated with sector. This study features a low-density polysulfide polymer prepared by Sulfur and used sunflower oils react directly. Because both sulfur cooking are hydrophobic, can easily extract hydrocarbons like crude diesel fuel saltwater. petroleum industry by-product, leftover may be utili...

BACKGROUND Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is oxidized to polysulfide. Recent reports show that this sulfur compound modulates various biological functions. We have reported that H2S is involved in inflammatory pain in mice. On the other hand, little is known about the functional role of polysulfide in sensory neurons. Here we show that polysulfide selectively stimulates nociceptive TRPA1 and evokes acu...

epoxy – polysulfide copolymers without or with low amounts of epoxy in their structure have poor mechanical properties in oxidative curing system.to strengthen the mechanical properties of polysulfide elastomer inclusion of epoxy resin (epon828) as hard segment was studied. ft-ir spectroscopy and rheometry were used to verify the formation of epoxy-polysulfide copolymer.  results obtained from ...
