Lyten introduces next generation Lithium-Sulfur battery for EVs; 3X energy density of Li-ion

Green Car Congress

Lyten , an advanced materials company, introduced its LytCell EV lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery platform. The technology is optimized for the electric vehicle market and is designed to deliver three times (3X) the gravimetric energy density of conventional lithium-ion batteries. C to as high as 60 ?C

Drexel team proposes TiO/CNF nanofiber mats to improve Lithium-Sulfur battery performance

Green Car Congress

Furthermore, the free-standing TiO/CNF-S cathodes developed with rapid sulfur melt infiltration (~5 sec) eradicate the need of inactive elements such as binders, additional current collectors (Al-foil) and additives. We have created freestanding porous titanium monoxide nanofiber mat as a cathode host material in lithium-sulfur batteries.

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

Green Car Congress

the commercialization of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries has been severely hindered by the polysulfide (PS) shuttling effect whereby PSs dissolve into the electrolyte and shuttle across the separator to react with anode materials, leading to a rapidly fading capacity with repeated charge/discharge cycles. 2018.07.022.

How Have Scientists Quintupled the Range of Electric Vehicles?

Drive Electric

Lithium-Ion (The Present) vs Lithium-Sulfur (The Future). Currently, electric vehicles are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Their energy density isn’t great if compared with its lithium-sulfur counterpart, though. The lithium-sulfur battery is nigh-on the inverse of a conventional battery.
