5kwh energy storage battery.U.S. scientists develop organic cathode materials to achieve high energy density lithium batteries

　　According to foreign media reports, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has designed a new organic cathode material for lithium batteries. With sulfur at its core, the material is more energy dense, cost-effective and environmentally friendly than traditional cathode materials in lithium batteries. Optimizing cathode materials Daily products such as smartphones and electric cars require lithium batteries to provide energy. As the demand for such products continues to grow, scientists have been studying how to optimize cathode materials to improve the overall performance of lithium battery systems. . In addition to solving the energy challenges facing battery systems, Brookhaven National Laboratory scientists are also researching materials design for sustainable batteries. In search of sustainable cathode materials that can provide high energy density, scientists have chosen a safe and abundant element – sulfur. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven Office of Science User Facility's National Synchronous Light Source II (NSLS-II) said: "Sulfur can form a lot of bonds, which means it can grab more lithium, thereby enhancing energy density. And sulfur is also lighter than the cathode material. The traditional elements are light, allowing electric vehicles to have longer driving range." When designing the new cathode material, the researchers chose an organic disulfide compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen instead of traditional There are heavy metals in lithium batteries, and heavy metals are not very environmentally friendly. But while sulfur batteries are safer and have higher energy density, they also face other challenges. "As the battery charges and discharges, sulfur turns into a bad compound that dissolves in the electrolyte and spreads throughout the battery, causing adverse reactions," Shadike said. "We designed a cathode material that allows sulfur atoms to Attached to an organic backbone, which stabilizes the sulfur." The researchers say the work could improve the performance of high-performance lithium batteries that use cathode materials with sulfur as the core.
