  • Publication number: 20230113503
    Abstract: Alkali metal-sulfur cells and batteries with cathode layers that store alkali metal charge carriers (e.g., lithium ions) in agglomerates of sulfurized carbon. The cathode layers lack costly and environmentally unfriendly nickel and cobalt. The cathode layers are composites that include agglomerates of sulfurized-carbon particles in a conductive binder and interconnected by sp2-bonded carbon materials, such as carbon nanotubes or nanoribbons, that extend within the agglomerates and between the sulfurized-carbon particles.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 7, 2022
    Publication date: April 13, 2023
    Applicant: WILLIAM MARSH RICE UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: James M. Tour, Rodrigo Villegas Salvatierra, Gladys Anahi Lopez Silva, Abdul-Ramahn O. Raji
