Advanced Lithium-Air, Lithium-Water, and Lithium-Sulfur Batteries based on Water-Stable Lithium Electrodes

In a new breakthrough, PolyPlus has developed an aqueous lithium-sulfur battery with zero self-discharge (no polysulfide shuttle) and remarkably enhanced solubility of the discharge product, Li2S. This is the first example of an aqueous Li-S battery, and offers promise as a high performance, low-cost alternative to current Li-ion technology.

In this presentation, Dr. Visco will discuss the state of the art in rechargeable (and primary) lithium-air and lithium-water battery technology and the recent breakthrough in aqueous lithium-sulfur technology.

Speaker: Dr. Steve Visco, Polyplus
