Stanford University scientists have created a new ultrahigh surface area three-dimensional porous graphitic carbon material that significantly boosts the performance of energy-storage technologies. Previously reported sulfur electrodes often had areal capacity of below 3 mAh g −1 and cycling lifetime of less than 200 cycles.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have demonstrated in the laboratory a lithium-sulfur (Li/S) battery that has more than twice the specific energy of lithium-ion batteries, and that lasts for more than 1,500 cycles of charge-discharge with minimal decay of the battery’s capacity.

These in turn function as a redox shuttle to catenate and bind the higher polysulfides, and convert them on reduction to insoluble lithium sulfide. In addition, they present an inherently low competitive cost due to the high natural abundance of sulfur. However, practical applications are currently hindered by several obstacles.

Further experiments demonstrated that the hybrid electrolyte can be well suited to work with a sulfur cathode, which operates at a relatively low voltage but has the advantages of being high capacity and very inexpensive. However, the intermediates were found to be insoluble in the glass-polymer electrolyte.

The US Department of Energy is awarding $106 million in funding for 37 research projects selected in the second round by the DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. Earlier post.). Earlier post.) Engineering E.
