  • Sulfur-carbon material composite body, positive electrode material for lithium sulfur secondary batteries, and lithium sulfur secondary battery
    Patent number: 11489152
    Abstract: Provided is a sulfur-carbon material composite body which, when used for an electrode of a secondary battery, is unlikely to degrade cycle characteristics at the time of charging and discharging of the secondary battery. Disclosed is a sulfur-carbon material composite body including a first carbon material having a graphene layered structure; a spacer at least partially disposed between graphene layers of the first carbon material or at an end of the first carbon material; and sulfur or a sulfur-containing compound at least partially disposed between the graphene layers of the first carbon material or at the end of the first carbon material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 1, 2022
    Assignee: SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD.

  • Alkali metal-sulfur-based secondary battery
    Patent number: 9406975
    Abstract: An alkali metal-sulfur-based secondary battery, in which coulombic efficiency is improved by suppressing a side reaction during charge, and a reduction in discharge capacity by repetition of charge and discharge is suppressed and which has a long battery life and an improved input/output density, includes a positive electrode or a negative electrode containing a sulfur-based electrode active material; an electrolyte solution containing an ether compound such as THF and glyme and a solvent such as a fluorine-based solvent, wherein at least a part of the ether compound and the alkali metal salt forms a complex; and a counter electrode.
