Polysulfide dissolution control: the common ion effect

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Mar 11;49(20):2004-6. doi: 10.1039/c2cc36986a.

Abstract

A Li-sulfur cell with a high discharge capacity of over 1300 mAh g(-1) at a C/10 rate, and a controlled overcharge amount less than 1%, was manufactured by synthesizing a carbon-sulfur nano-composite via a wet milling process, and suppressing polysulfide dissolution using an electrolyte with a highly concentrated lithium salt.
