  • Introduction
  • Lithium-sulfur batteries
  • high theoretical specific capacity
  • high energy density
  • sulfur is abundant, inexpensive and nontoxic
  • - High degradation during cycling
  • - Structural and morphological changes during
    electrochemical reactions are still not well
    understood
  • In this work
  • X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electrochemical
    Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) were applied to
    investigate the physical and chemical processes
    occurring in Li-S battery during cycling.
  • Materials and Methods
  • Sulfur cathode
  • Composition 50 wt. sulfur, 40 wt. carbon black
    and 10 wt. polyvinylidene fluoride
  • Method of preparation
    Suspension-spraying on aluminum foil.
    Solvents DMSO and ethanol 64
  • Cycling of the battery
  • Charge / Discharge Voltage (V) 2.8 / 1.5
  • Specific discharge current 300 mA/g S

  • Summary and conclusion
  • A suitable cell for in-situ X-ray diffraction
    analysis was designed and reaction products
    (S8 and Li2S) were monitored during cycling
    and semi-quantitatively determined.
  • An equivalent electrical circuit for the cell was
    designed and evaluated by means of EIS. Variation
    of resistance contributions were studied in
    dependence with state of charge.
  • This work highlights the importance of in-situ
    studies and the combination
    of XRD and EIS techniques to reveal new
    insights into Li-S batteries.
