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. Click to enlarge.
