Stable cycling of lithium sulfide cathodes through strong affinity with a bifunctional binder

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Seh, Zhi Wei ; Zhang, Qianfan ; Li, Weiyang ; Zheng, Guangyuan ; Yao, Hongbin ; Cui, Yi

Rechargeable lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted great interest in recent years because of their high theoretical specific energy, which is several times that of current lithium-ion batteries. Compared to sulfur, fully-lithiated Li{sub 2}S represents a more attractive cathode material because it enables pairing with safer, lithium metal-free anodes. Here, we demonstrate stable and high-performance Li{sub 2}S cathodes by using ab initio simulations to guide our rational selection of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) binder which exhibits strong affinity with both Li{sub 2}S and lithium polysulfides. A high discharge capacity of 760 mA h g{sup -1} of Li{sub 2}S (~ 1090 mA h g{sup -1} ofmore »« less

Oxyphosphorus-containing polymers as binders for battery cathodes

Patent Pratt, Russell Clayton ; Mullin, Scott Allen ; Eitouni, Hany Basam

A class of polymeric phosphorous esters can be used as binders for battery cathodes. Metal salts can be added to the polymers to provide ionic conductivity. The polymeric phosphorous esters can be formulated with other polymers either as mixtures or as copolymers to provide additional desirable properties. Examples of such properties include even higher ionic conductivity and improved mechanical properties. Furthermore, cathodes that include the polymeric phosphorous esters can be assembled with a polymeric electrolyte separator and an anode to form a complete battery.
