Seminar - “Towards the Practical Application of Lithium Sulfur Batteries: Electrochemistry and Chemistry” by Dr. Jie Xiao, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington 99352, United States
ABSTRACT: Lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted increasing attention because of their high theoretical capacity, natural abundance, low cost and environmental friendliness. Assuming Li2S as the end product, the maximum specific capacity and energy from Li-S batteries are 1675 Ah kg−1 and 2650 Wh kg−1, respectively, significantly higher than those of state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries.
