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

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT and in China are proposing a new class of dense intercalation-conversion hybrid cathodes by combining intercalation-type Mo 6 S 8 with conversion-type sulfur (HMSC) to realize a Li–S full cell. Typical sulfur cathodes are made up of 20 to 30 percent carbon, he says, but the new version needs only 10 percent carbon.

MIT electrolyte enables ultra-high voltage Ni-rich cathodes in Li-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

MIT researchers and colleagues at two national laboratories have developed a sulfonamide-based electrolyte that enables stable cycling of a commercial LiNi 0.8 V in lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). There’s still really nothing that allows a good rechargeable lithium-air battery.
