The activation of commercial LiS remains to be one of the key challenges against its commercialization as a starting cathode material for a sulfur-based Li-ion battery system. In this work we take advantage of the lower oxidation potential of commercial NaS (1-3 wt%) to serve as an and local polysulfide injector for the activation of commercial LiS (70 wt%). In contrast to applying pre-solvated redox mediators, this technique allows for the activation of commercial LiS at lower voltages with an electrolyte content as low as 3 μL mg at 3 mgmg cm and 4 μL mg at 6.5 mg cm without any other material modification.
作为硫基锂离子电池系统的起始阴极材料,商用硫化锂(LiS)的活化仍然是其商业化面临的关键挑战之一。在这项工作中,我们利用商用硫化钠(NaS,1-3 wt%)较低的氧化电位,作为一种[此处原文可能有误,推测是某种物质]和局部多硫化物注入剂来活化商用硫化锂(70 wt%)。与应用预溶剂化的氧化还原介质不同,该技术能够在较低电压下活化商用LiS,在3 mg/cm²时电解质含量低至3 μL/mg,在6.5 mg/cm²时为4 μL/mg,且无需任何其他材料改性。
