The new battery combines a Li 2 S/mesoporous carbon composite cathode and a silicon nanowire anode. Yi Cui at Stanford University have demonstrated a new proof-of-concept lithium metal-free battery with high specific energy consisting of a lithium sulfide (Li 2 S)/mesoporous carbon composite cathode and a silicon (Si) nanowire anode.

A team from Japan’s RIKEN, led by Hye Ryung Byon, has developed a lithium-iodine (Li-I 2 ) battery system with a significantly higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries. The high solubility of triiodide/iodide redox couples results in an energy density of ~ 0.33?kWh?kg Zhao et al. Click to enlarge.
