Production process for alkali metal-sulfur batteries having high volumetric and gravimetric energy densities

摘要

Process for producing an alkali metal-sulfur battery, comprising: (a) Preparing a first conductive porous structure; (b) Preparing a second conductive porous structure; (c) Injecting or impregnating a first suspension into pores of the first conductive porous structure to form an anode electrode, wherein the first suspension contains an anode active material, an optional conductive additive, and a first electrolyte; (d) Injecting or impregnating a second suspension into pores of the second conductive porous structure to form a cathode electrode, wherein the second suspension contains a cathode active material (selected from sulfur, lithium polysulfide, sodium polysulfide, sulfur-polymer composite, organo-sulfide, sulfur-carbon composite, sulfur-graphene composite, or a combination thereof), an optional conductive additive, and a second electrolyte; and (e) Assembling the anode electrode, a separator, and a cathode electrode into the battery.
