PATHION develops new LiRAP-based solid-state electrolytes for Li-sulfur and sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

At the Spring 2015 Materials Research Conference in San Francisco earlier this month, PATHION presented two new derivative superionic solid-state electrolytes built upon LiRAP (Lithium-Rich Anti-Perovskite). PATHION is working on a derivative for Li-sulfur batteries as well as a derivative that could be applied in a sodium-ion battery.

New high-performance Na-ion battery with SO2-based catholyte; potential for other non-Li-metal-based battery systems

Green Car Congress

Researchers in South Korea have demonstrated new type of room-temperature and high-energy density sodium rechargeable battery using a sulfur dioxide (SO 2 )-based inorganic molten complex catholyte that serves as both a Na + -conducting medium and cathode material (i.e. catholyte). mA cm −2 ). The cutoff voltage for charge is 4.05 V.
