Abstract Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery has attracted tremendous interest owing to its high energy density at affordable costs. However, the irreversible active material loss and subsequent capacity fading caused by uncontrollable shuttling of polysulfides have greatly hampered commercial viability. MXenes, a novel class 2D materials derived from nano-layered MAX phases, been shown potential pus...

This review evaluates the characteristics and advantages of employing polymer electrolytes in lithium/sulfur (Li/S) batteries. The main highlights of this study constitute detailed information on the advanced developments for solid polymer electrolytes and gel polymer electrolytes, used in the lithium/sulfur battery. This includes an in-depth analysis conducted on the preparation and electroche...

Because the charging process for Li+ batteries can take an hour or longer, testing a Li+ battery charger using its natural load (i.e., a battery) is time consuming and inconvenient. This application note presents a simple circuit for simulating the behavior of a Li+ battery, thus providing a more convenient method for testing Li+ battery chargers than using real batteries. A similar version of ...

Among the "beyond Li-ion" battery chemistries, nonaqueous Li-O2 batteries have the highest theoretical specific energy and, as a result, have attracted significant research attention over the past decade. A critical scientific challenge facing nonaqueous Li-O2 batteries is the electronically insulating nature of the primary discharge product, lithium peroxide, which passivates the battery catho...

Li-Ion rechargeable battery is one of the most-used rechargeable batteries around the industry of the world. The battery is most used in most electronic devices, electrical cars. But the battery separator is one of the mainly problem that limits the service life. If we can find the way to improve the performance of the battery separator, we can highly increase the service life of the Li-Ion bat...

The unstable interface of lithium metal in high energy density Li sulfur (Li-S) batteries raises concerns of poor cycling, low efficiency and safety issues, which may be addressed by using intercalation types of anode. Herein, a new prototype of Li-ion sulfur battery with high performance has been demonstrated by coupling a graphite anode with a sulfur cathode (2 mA h cm(-2)) after successfully...

wileyonlinelibrary.com interact with two Li atoms per S atom, the S cathode can provide reversible high capacity of 1675 mAh g -1 at average potentials of 2.0 V, [ 1–3 ] which is 10× higher energy density than that of classical commercial LiCoO 2 cathode. Since the capacity of current LiCoO 2 -graphite Li-ion battery is controlled by LiCoO 2 cathode, replacement of expensive LiCoO 2 with cheap ...
