  • Lithium-sulphur (Li—S) battery with high cycle stability and method for operation thereof
    Patent number: 9768466
    Abstract: A Li—S battery including a cathode and an anode and at least one of a lithium-containing liquid electrolyte, gel electrolyte, and solid electrolyte disposed between the cathode and the anode. The cathode includes at least one of an electrically conductive carbon material, an electrochemically active cathode material that comprises sulphur, and at least partially fibrillar plastic material. The anode includes a conducting substrate which is coated at least in regions with at least one of silicon and tin. A method for operation thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2013
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2017
    Assignees: Technische Universität Dresden, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.

  • ALKALI METAL-CHALCOGEN BATTERY HAVING LOW SELF-DISCHARGE AND HIGH CYCLE LIFE AND PERFORMANCE
    Publication number: 20150249244
    Abstract: An alkali-chalcogen battery that includes a cathode that includes at least one of at least one chalcogen and at least one alkali-chalcogen compound, and an anode. At least one of an alkali metal-containing liquid electrolyte, gel electrolyte and solid electrolyte is disposed between the anode and the cathode. Also, a cation-selective separator is disposed at least in regions between the anode and the cathode, the separator being permeable for alkali metal ions and impermeable for polychalcogenide ions (Zn2? with n?2, Z representing the chalcogen), and the separator having a maximum layer thickness of 30 ?m.
