Abstract

Abstract:

In view of the slow progress in the industrialization of lithium sulfur batteries, the basic problems restricting the development of lithium sulfur batteries are analyzed from the practical level, W·hich are the low surface capacity of cathode, the high electrolyte ratio, the poor rate performance and the instability of lithium anode. According to their own work, the authors put forward the solution of these problems.

Key words: practicalization of lithium sulfur batteries, surface capacity of cathode, electrolyte ratio, rate performance of lithium sulfur batteries, lithium anode
