Poreless Separator and Electrolyte Additive for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries with High Areal Energy Densities
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Despite the attractive theoretical capacity of sulfur over 1600 mA h g−1, lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries suffer from insufficient cycle lives mainly due to fatal polysulfide dissolution. This chronic drawback becomes ...
Thermochemical treatment of fly ash for synthesis of mesoporous activated carbon
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
A mesoporous activated carbon is produced from oil fly ash (OFA) using chemical and thermal treatments at different activation conditions. The ash samples were refluxed with a range of compositions of sulfuric, nitric, and ...
