Novel Cathode Material for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries and Lithium-Ion Batteries

At Aalen University a novel composite material and a production process thereof was developed which makes the structural and material separation of current collector and cathode material unnecessary. The cathode material can be manufactured and formed in a continuous single stage electroplating process without the need to add binding material and electrically conductive particles. The proportion of active material in the cathode can thus be increased. Moreover the mechanical stability and the efficiency of Li-Ion cells and Li-Sulfur cells improve.
