MIT: hybrid cathodes could boost energy capacity of lithium-sulfur batteries

Green Car Congress

The relationship between cathode porosity and predicted cathode-specific volumetric energy density e v (a) and gravimetric energy density e g (b) of the hybrid Mo 6 S 8 /S 8 cathode with all carbon included (HMSC) and C/S 8 cathode with different C/S 8 and Mo 6 S 8 /S 8 ratios. The net effect of using the new material is substantial.

China team develops new high-performance cathode for Li-sulfur batteries

Green Car Congress

Jian Liu and Prof.Zhongshuai Wu from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed Fe 1-x S-decorated mesoporous carbon spheres as a cathode material for lithium-sulfur batteries. This further causes low capacity and stability of lithium-sulfur batteries.

Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

As she drives her electric vehicle to her mother’s house, Monique’s battery gauge indicates that it’s time to reenergize. The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. A battery that mitigates these problems is DARPA’s objective.
