Stanford Researchers Demonstrate a New Nanostructured Lithium Sulfide/Silicon Rechargeable Battery System with High Specific Energy

Green Car Congress

The new battery combines a Li 2 S/mesoporous carbon composite cathode and a silicon nanowire anode. The lithium/sulfur system, which during the redox process behaves according to the reaction 2Li + S ? CMK-3 carbon is made up of hexagonally arranged 7-8 nm thick carbon nanorods separated by 3-4 nm pores.
