Claims20
A lithium-sulfur battery cell comprising:
- a lithium anode;
- and
- a carbon-sulfur cathode including a sulfur-impregnated carbon nanostructure defined by one or more layers of elementally doped nanoporous carbon arranged on one or more carbon nanotubes.
A lithium-sulphur battery cell comprising:
- a lithium anode;
- a carbon-sulfur cathode;
- and
- a solid or gel polymer electrolyte configured to inhibit dissolution of lithium polysulfide intermediates in the electrolyte and prevent deposition of the intermediates on the anode, the electrolyte comprising poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) and hydrophilic ceramic particles.
