China-US team uses graphene composite separator to suppress polysulfide shuttling in Li-S batteries

Green Car Congress

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. … —Lei et al.
