Abstract:This report describes work carried out on the development of rechargeable, ambient temperature Li/sulfur and Li/metal sulfide batteries. The Li/S system has the cathode material dissolved in the electrolyte, as Li2S n. Tetrahydrofuran, 1M LiAsF6, is one of the more attractive electrolytes discovered for this cell, since it can dissolve up to ^10M S as Li2S n. Despite the oxidative nature of the electrolyte, Li is stable in it and can be electrodeposited from it on battery charge. Passivation of the Li due to i… 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.
