Batteries and Fuel Cells

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Area of Science:

Materials Science
Electrochemistry
Energy Storage

Background:

All-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) offer high energy density and safety.
Developing high-performance sulfur cathodes is challenging due to low conductivity and volume changes.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize sulfur cathodes with mixed electronic and ionic conductivity for ASSLSBs.
To improve the electrochemical performance and stability of sulfur cathodes.

Main Methods:

Synthesized sulfur cathodes by infiltrating Li3PS4 solid electrolyte and S active material into mesoporous carbon (CMK-3).
Utilized the porous structure of CMK-3 to manage volume changes during cycling.

Main Results:

Achieved uniform dispersion of amorphous Li3PS7 catholyte in a conductive carbon matrix.
Demonstrated high and balanced electronic/ionic conductivities in the cathode composite.
Delivered a capacity of 1025 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles at 60 °C (1/8C) in ASSLSBs with Li metal anodes.

Conclusions:

High and balanced electronic and ionic conductivities are crucial for high-performance sulfur cathodes in ASSLSBs.
The developed cathode composite shows significant potential for advanced energy storage applications.
