Objective

Scalable sulfur encapsulation process for high capacity and long service sulfur-composite making

Approach

Graphene encapsulation of sulfur formed in-situ

Impact

Lithium sulfur batteries are considered to be the next generation batteries for power source and energy storage. The key problem is the making of stable or durable sulfur cathode to minimize the shuttle effect and make efficient usage of the sulfur content. The success of this project will pave the road for the large scale production of Li-S batteries for energy storage and also power source for electric vehicles / devices.
