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.
It is also expected that demand for lithium-ion batteries will increase up to tenfold by 2030, according to the US Department for Energy, so manufacturers are constantly building battery plants to keep up. Lithium mining can be controversial as it can take several years to develop and has a considerable impact on the environment.
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are considered the prime candidate for both EVs and energy storage technologies , but the limitations in term of cost, performance and the constrained lithium supply have also attracted wide attention , .
A study published in the journal Nature Sustainability shows that the team's newly developed hybrid polymer network cathode allows Li-S batteries to deliver over 900 mAh/g (milliampere-hours per gram mass), compared to the typical 150-250 mAh/g capacity in lithium-ion batteries.
Dr Nuria Tapia-Ruiz, who leads a team of battery researchers at the chemistry department at Imperial College London, said any material with reduced amounts of lithium and good energy storage capabilities are "the holy grail" in the lithium-ion battery industry.
Rechargeable lithium batteries have the potential to reach the 500 Wh kg −1, and less than $100 kWh −1 goal. In the last several years, good progress has been made in the fabrication of high-energy lithium cells and good cycle life has been achieved using liquid electrolytes .
