Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) rechargeable batteries have been expected to be lightweight energy storage devices with the highest gravimetric energy density at the single-cell level reaching up to 695 Wh kg (cell)−1, having also an ultralow rate of 0.005 C only in the first discharge.
Although much progress has been achieved in stabilizing the Li metal anode, the current Li electrode still lacks efficiency and safety. Moreover, a practical Li metal battery requires a thickness-controllable Li electrode to maximally balance the energy density and stability.
In recent years, the energy density of LIBs has been significantly improved, mainly through boosting the batteries’ materials and optimally engineering the design. The energy density of LIBs is calculated by integrating the operating voltage with respect to the storage capacity.
They also should have a relatively smooth surface. Each component of the thin-film batteries, current collector, cathode, anode, and electrolyte is deposited from the vapor phase. A final protective film is needed to prevent the Li-metal from reacting with air when the batteries are exposed to the environment.
Lithium-sulfur batteries have never lived up to their potential as the next generation of renewable batteries for electric vehicles and other devices. But ?SMU mechanical engineer Donghai Wang and his research team have found a way to make these Li-S batteries last longer -- with higher energy levels -- than existing renewable batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become ubiquitous in our modern lives, with various applications, such as portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and grid storage [1, 2, 3].
