Abstract

An electrochemical device includes a cathode containing graphene-wrapped Li.sub.2S nanoparticles. The graphene-wrapped Li.sub.2S nanoparticles are prepared by a method including heating lithium metal, and a carbon-sulfur source or a carbon source and a sulfur source in a sealed container at a temperature to produce lithium vapors, and vapors of the carbon-sulfur source or vapors of the carbon source and vapors of the sulfur source; and cooling the sealed container to produce the graphene-wrapped Li.sub.2S nanoparticles.

Co-solvents with high coulombic efficiency in propylene carbonate based electrolytes

Patent Liu, Gao ; Zhao, Hui ; Park, Sang-Jae

A homologous series of cyclic carbonate or propylene carbonate (PC) analogue solvents with increasing length of linear alkyl substitutes were synthesized and used as co-solvents with PC for graphite based lithium ion half cells. A graphite anode reaches a capacity around 310 mAh/g in PC and its analogue co-solvents with 99.95% Coulombic efficiency. Cyclic carbonate co-solvents with longer alkyl chains are able to prevent exfoliation of graphite when used as co-solvents with PC. The cyclic carbonate co-solvents of PC compete for solvation of Li ion with PC solvent, delaying PC co-intercalation. Reduction products of PC on graphite surfaces via single-electronmore »« less

Simultaneous high efficiency capture of CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2S from pressurized gas

Patent Gal, Eli ; Krishnan, Gopala N. ; Jayaweera, Indira S.

Low-cost and energy-efficient CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2S capture is provided obtaining greater than 99.9% capture efficiency from pressurized gas. The acid species are captured in an ammonia solution, which is then regenerated by stripping the absorbed species. The solution can capture as much as 330 grams of CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2S per 1000 gram of water and when regenerated it produces pure pressurized acid gas containing more than 99.7% CO.sub.2 and H2S. The absorption of the acid species is accomplished in two absorbers in-series, each having multiple stages. More than 95% of the acid species are captured in the first absorber andmore »« less

High voltage rechargeable magnesium batteries having a non-aqueous electrolyte

Patent Doe, Robert Ellis ; Lane, George Hamilton ; Jilek, Robert E. ; ...

A rechargable magnesium battery having an non-aqueous electrolyte is provided. The properties of the electrolyte include high conductivity, high Coulombic efficiency, and an electrochemical window that can exceed 3.5 V vs. Mg/Mg.sup.+2. The use of the electrolyte promotes the electrochemical deposition and dissolution of Mg without the use of any Grignard reagents, other organometallic materials, tetraphenyl borate, or tetrachloroaluminate derived anions. Other Mg-containing electrolyte systems that are expected to be suitable for use in secondary batteries are also described.

High capacity anode materials for lithium ion batteries

Patent Lopez, Herman A. ; Anguchamy, Yogesh Kumar ; Deng, Haixia ; ...

High capacity silicon based anode active materials are described for lithium ion batteries. These materials are shown to be effective in combination with high capacity lithium rich cathode active materials. Supplemental lithium is shown to improve the cycling performance and reduce irreversible capacity loss for at least certain silicon based active materials. In particular silicon based active materials can be formed in composites with electrically conductive coatings, such as pyrolytic carbon coatings or metal coatings, and composites can also be formed with other electrically conductive carbon components, such as carbon nanofibers and carbon nanoparticles. Additional alloys with silicon are explored.
