/PRNewswire/ A new market study published by Global Industry Analysts Inc., (GIA) the premier market research company, today released its report titled.
Although various inorganic particles have been confirmed as effective trappers to restrict the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) in lithium-sulfur batteries (LSB), the further reduction of LiPSs is impeded due to their low conductivity. This process results in sluggish redox kinetics at the interface of cathode/electrolyte and escaped LiPSs to electrolytes during long-term cycling. Herein, by advantageous functional integration of immobilization and conversion capability for LiPSs, a 3D aerogel with the composition of Co@CoO@N-doped carbon@graphene (Co@CoO@N-C/rGO) is designed and prepared. The dual-shells of N-C and polar CoO enable the strong chemical adsorption towards LiPSs through pyridinic – N-Li-bond and Co···S coordination, respectively. And the conductive Co core acts as a “scissor”, which catalyzes the transformation of adsorbed LiPSs into low-order ones, thus accelerating the kinetics of the liquid–solid nucleation and growth of Li S. Moreover, the ma

A research team at a South Korean institute has found a way to improve the performance and durability of lithium-sulfur batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries may now be front and centre in powering portable electronics and promising to make electric vehicles and renewable energy storage a routine affair. Still, researchers are already at work trying to develop next-generation batteries for more advanced requirements.
Among the more promising of these future alternatives are the lithium-sulfur batteries. They have a high energy density, making them apt for a time when energy storage demands expand beyond current capacities.
