Adiabatic and Nonadiabatic Charge Transport in Li–S Batteries [PDF]
Chemistry of Materials, 2018 The insulating nature of the redox end members in Li-S batteries, a-S and Li2S, has the potential to limit the capacity and efficiency of this emerging energy storage system. Nevertheless, the mechanisms responsible for ionic and electronic transport in these materials remain a matter of debate.

Catholyte Formulations for High-Energy Li–S Batteries [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2017 The sulfur electrode in LiS batteries suffers from rapid capacity loss and low efficiency due to the solubility of long chain polysulfides formed during discharge. Herein, we demonstrate the beneficial effect of original catholyte formulations containing redox active organyl disulfides (PhS2Ph) on the capacity utilization and retention as well as the ...
