Tsinghua team develops bio-inspired self-healing sulfur electrodes; almost no capacity decay after 2000 cycles

Green Car Congress

In this contribution, we propose a general scheme to explain the mechanism of self-healing electrolytes (SHEs) preloaded with polysulfides and to engineer extrinsic healing agents toward self-healable Li−S batteries. The healing mechanism mimics biological processes, fibrinolysis, within blood vessels. —Peng et al. —Peng et al.
