Herein, we develop a modified PBI (mPBI) polymer (Scheme 1) as a binder and a separator functional reagent for Li–S batteries. As a binder, the as-prepared mPBI polymer provides resilient adhesion and ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new polysulfide entrapping strategy that greatly improves the cycle stability of Li-S batteries, a new report outlines. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are the power ...

The growing demands on the high-performance energy-storage system for emerging technologies such as electric vehicles and artificial intelligence drive the development of high-performance batteries.

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are the power behind most modern portable electronics, including cell phones, tablets, laptops, fitness trackers, and smart watches. However, their energy density — ...

“It is important to develop effective strategies to inhibit the undesirable polysulfide shuttle and dendrite growth in Li-S batteries. Once the polysulfide shuttle and dendrite growth in ...

A team of researchers conducted a rigorous examination of thermal safety in lithium–sulfur pouch cells. The researchers concentrated their research on the exothermic events that cause the temperature ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue engineers have figured out a way to tackle plastic landfills while also improving batteries – by putting ink-free plastic soaked in sulfur-containing solvent into a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, which employ sulfur as cathode and metallic lithium as anode materials, are emerging as promising alternatives to the widely used lithium-ion ...

The name "lithium-ion battery" seems to imply that lithium is the essential ingredient that dictates the battery's performance characteristics. But that's less true than it appears. The electrodes ...

The general formula for ternary carbides is Mn+1AXn, where n = 1,2,3, M is a transition metal such as Cr, V, Ti, Sc, etc., A is an element such as aluminum or silicon, and X is either carbon or ...

China is pushing lithium-sulfur batteries from lab curiosity toward real-world hardware, and the latest twist adds sunlight ...
