New lithium polysulfide flow battery for large-scale energy storage

Green Car Congress

As the lithium surface is well passivated by LiNO 3 additive in ether solvent, internal shuttle effect is largely eliminated and thus excellent performance over 2000 cycles is achieved with a constant capacity of 200 mA h g ?1. We demonstrated that, with a 5 M Li 2 S 8 catholyte, energy densities of 97 Wh kg ?1 1 and 108 Wh L ?1
