Abstract:Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) has been shown to be an attractive cathode material for Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries demonstrating high gravimetric capacity of up to 650mAh/g, and stable cycle performance due to the lack of a polysulfide shuttle in commercially viable carbonate electrolyte. While carbonate electrolyte works well with the cathode of Li-SPAN batteries, it is known to destabilize lithium metal, leading to inactive lithium on the anode and poor coulombic efficiencies (CE). Ether electrolyte… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
