Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Project overview
Lithium-sulfur battery can reach the theoretical capacity of 1673mAh/g and the high energy density of 2600Wh/kg (2800Wh/L), which is much higher than other commercialized secondary batteries used at the present stage. In addition, the cheap and environment-friendly characteristics of elemental sulfur make the system of great commercial value. The use of high energy density lithium-sulfur batteries can greatly reduce the mass of the power supply system, especially used for electric vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, single combat systems, space vehicles, military portable power supplies, and so on.

Technical Content


In this project, carbon materials with high specific surface, binder and solvent are well-distributed to fabricate the slurry through a multistage dispersion process. The slurry is then coated on the routine commercial separator, and the modified separator is obtained after drying. The modified separator, cathode materials, lithium anode and electrolyte, are well matched and assembled into high performance lithium-sulfur batteries.

Advantages

The carbon material modified separator developed in this project effectively inhibits the polysulfide dissolution, promoting the utilization of the sulfur electrode, and hence contributes to the high capacity performance of the lithium-sulfur batteries. The assembled lithium-sulfur batteries exhibits a high discharge specific capacity of 620mAh/g after1000 cycles at 1C, and the capacity retention is up to 80%. Compared with the lithium-sulfur batteries fields, the performance is remarkable.

Market Prospects

According to the "lithium-ion batteries industry development white paper (2018)" issued by the Research Institute EVTank and iwei Economic Research Institute, the global lithium batteries shipments reached 143.5Gwh in 2017, in which the shipments of electric vehicle powered lithium-ion batteries reached 58.1Gwh, the energy storage lithium-ion batteries reached 11.0Gwh, and the other traditional lithium-ion batteries shipments reached 74.4Gwh. Based on the continued promising prospects for the development of automotive powered lithium batteries, EVTank predicts that by 2020, the shipments of electric vehicle powered lithium batteries will reach 166.1Gwh, thus driving the global lithium batteries shipments to 279.9Gwh.  In the view of the regional market, China has become the most active area of lithium batteries development in the world. The power lithium batteries market has become the biggest engine of the rapid growth of the global lithium batteries market. Based on the high energy density requirement of power batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries have become the research hotspot at present.
