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 paper on the novel battery was published online 25 February in the ACS journal Nano Letters.

are proposing a new sealed rechargeable battery system operating on a redox reaction between an oxide (O 2- ) and a peroxide (O 2 2- ) in the cathode. As described in a paper in the Nature open access journal Scientific Reports , the proposed battery system would have a theoretical specific energy of 2,570?Wh Wh kg -1 (897?mAh

Yi Cui and Hongjie Dai report the synthesis of a graphene–wrapped sulfur composite material that shows high and stable specific capacities of up to 600 mAh/g over more than 100 cycles. These problems cause poor cycle life, low specific capacity, and low energy efficiency. Nano Letters Article ASAP doi: /10.1021/nl200658.

Although lithium metal is a promising anode material for Li-ion rechargeable batteries due to its theoretical high capacity (3,860?mAh 1 of graphite anodes), it fails to meet cycle life and safety requirements due to electrolyte decomposition and dendrite formation on the surfaces of the lithium metal anodes during cycling.
