Researchers synthesize new Li-S cathode based on “carbon compartments”

Green Car Congress

This is due to the combination of the previously described issues, and the interrelated chemistries that connect the cathode, anode, and electrolyte reactions. This work reports the synthesis, characterization, electrochemical performance, and modeling of a nanosulfur-loaded CC composite as a novel cathode material for Li-S batteries.
