New high-performance foldable cathode for Li-S batteries based on 3D activated carbon fiber matrix

Green Car Congress

A team at Sun Yat-sen University in China has developed new high-performance, stable cathode for Li-S batteries consisting of a 3D activated carbon fiber matrix (ACFC) and sulfur. For the composite cathodes with 3D conductive framework, however, the continuous carbon fibers act as high-speed electron pathway.

IDTechEx calculates ~31 GWh of electric vehicle markets beyond cars in 2021

Green Car Congress

For example, IDTechEx expects that lithium-metal and solid-state batteries, axial flux motors, and carbon fiber materials will play an important role in eVTOL markets. Tier 1 cities in China were the first to adopt electric buses, driving rapid growth between 2012-2016, but now many of these markets are saturated.

Stanford team develops new simple approach for viable Li-metal anodes for advanced batteries

Green Car Congress

Lithium-metal anodes are favored for use in next-generation rechargeable Li-air or Li-sulfur batteries due to a tenfold higher theoretical specific capacity than graphite (3,860 mAh/g vs. 372 mAh/g); light weight and lowest anode potential. The Li flowed easily into the scaffold and occupied the empty spaces between each single fiber.
