HZB team devises new Ti4O7 cathode material for Lithium-sulfur batteries

Green Car Congress

The porous Ti 4 O 7 and carbon-coated Ti 4 O 7 particles show significantly improved electrochemical performances as cathode materials for Li–S batteries as compared with those of TiO 2 particles. Ti 4 O 7 has been utilized as a Pt catalyst support for fuel cells because of its high electrical conductivity (>103 S cm −1 at room temperature).
