The effect of sulfur loading on the electrochemical performance of a sulfur-polymer composite cathode coated on aluminium foil.

A scaling-up investigation of a sulfur-polymer cathode for rechargeable lithium-sulfur batteries is reported. The proposed procedure uses a low cost aluminium current collector and is suitable for mass production of a composite cathode, with sulfur loading levels of up to 5.9 mg cm(-2), and good electrochemical performance.

Polymer electrolytes for lithium/sulfur batteries.

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 electrochemical characteristics of the Li/S batteries based on these polymer electrolytes.
