Lithium Sulfur Battery Chemistry Gets Closer To Practical

February 22, 2023 | Leave a Comment

An Argonne National Laboratory research team has built and tested a new interlayer to prevent dissolution of the sulfur cathode in lithium-sulfur batteries. This new interlayer increases Li-S cell capacity and maintains it over hundreds of cycles. With this new design, lithium-sulfur batteries could reach their full potential. The paper about the research was published […]

Daring Attempt For a Better Lithium Battery

July 19, 2018 | 3 Comments

University of Maryland researchers have figured out how to increase a rechargeable battery’s capacity by using aggressive electrodes. They stabilizing these potentially dangerous electrode materials with a highly-fluorinated electrolyte. The success of electric car batteries depends on the miles that can be driven on a single charge, but the current crop of lithium-ion batteries are […]
