Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden, Germany will hold its 3rd annual workshop on Lithium-sulfur batteries from 12-13 November 2014. As with the prior Lithium-Sulfur Battery Workshops in 2012 and 2013, this year’s symposium will bring together an international audience of scientists and industrial customers.
sulfur phase within carbon nanofibers that enables successful operation of Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries in carbonate electrolyte for 4000 cycles. Carbonates are known to adversely react with the intermediate polysulfides and shut down Li-S batteries in first discharge. —Pai et al.
Researchers from Texas A&M and Purdue have developed a new cathode material for Li-S batteries based on what they call carbon compartments (CCs)—conductive 3D carbon mesostructures that possess macro- and meso-pores that allow for high loading of sulfur nanoparticles and enhanced electrolyte-sulfur contact.
Researchers at Stanford University and SLAC led by Stanford associate professor Yi Cui have used a sulfur–TiO 2 yolk–shell design for a cathode material for a lithium-sulfur battery that achieved an initial specific capacity of 1,030?mAh?g Click to enlarge. C and Coulombic efficiency of 98.4% over 1,000 cycles. Click to enlarge.
In their paper on the work published in the journal Joule , the researchers reported that by using a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/sodium lignosulfonate (SL) composite on the standard polypropylene (PP) separator (rGO@SL/PP), they demonstrated a highly robust Li-S battery with a capacity retention of 74% over 1,000 cycles. … 2018.07.022.
The active material, conductive carbon and binders are dispersed in a solvent to make a paste, which is initially applied to the metal foil to form a wet coating. It could equally be used on lithium-ion cells as on lithium-sulfur or sodium-ion cells. We are even looking at solid-state batteries.
carbon composite as cathodes in ether-based electrolyte. New composite materials based on selenium (Se) sulfides used as the cathode in a rechargeable lithium-ion battery could increase Li-ion density five times, according to research carried out at the US Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory.
As described in an open-access paper in the RSC journal Chemical Communications ,the polymer exhibits high sulfur content and offers longer lifetime stability compared to pure sulfur, providing new protocols to develop new cathode materials for Li-S batteries. Cycling performance of Az-S and pure sulfur at 0.3 Chen et al.
Tiamat was one of 11 top-performing technology startups honoured with a Stellantis Ventures Award in 2023, and is the first company in the world to have recently commercialized a sodium-ion technology in an electrified product. Sodium-ion technology offers a lower cost per kilowatt-hour and is free of lithium and cobalt.
Stellantis Ventures, the corporate venture fund of Stellantis, today announced its participation as a strategic investor in Tiamat, a France-based company that is developing and commercializing sodium-ion battery technology. Sodium-ion technology offers a lower cost per kilowatt-hour and is free of lithium and cobalt.
What is the impact on the EV lifecycle carbon footprint? A 30% decrease in grid carbon intensity would reduce emissions from the battery production chain by about 17%. Audi’s e-Tron batteries are manufactured at a carbon-neutral facility. So, how clean is EV battery manufacturing? Is it becoming cleaner?
Then there are the new battery chemistries that are not lithium based—for instance, sodium-ion and graphene-based batteries. And there have been advances in grid-scale batteries involving liquid metal technology , and improved traditional flow-battery technology using lithiumsulfur.
Graphite is a pure form of carbon. Its physical structure allows it to store lithium ions. This crystalline carbon allotrope is good for more than just pencils—it’s found in every EV battery anode, and producing graphite in the forms needed to build high-performance battery cells is a complex and exacting process.
