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. Sulfur also possesses other advantages such as low cost and environmental benignity. Earlier post.) Nevertheless, Wang et al.

This will be followed by an assessment of the perceived technological barriers and the potential energy density gains for so-called post-LiBs, namely lithium-oxygen and lithium-sulfur batteries. For a 100 mile-range BEV requiring ≈21 kWh net , complete recharge could be accomplished within ≈60 min. Source: Gröger et al.

A team from the University of Rome Sapienza has developed a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery based on the combination of a high capacity sulfur-carbon cathode, nanostructured Li x Sn-C anode and polysulfide-added PEO-based gel membrane. Moreover, the addition of a dissolved polysulfide (i.e.

The reversible redox reaction without the formation of resistive solid products promotes rechargeability, demonstrating 100 cycles with negligible capacity fading. Li metal with 1 M of LiPF 6 in ethylene carbonate (EC)/dimethyl carbonate (DMC) electrolyte was used for the anode. kWh kg -1 cell (1.0 500 km) [311 miles].
