A New Sulfur Iodide Molecular Crystal, S9.3I, As Solid-State Li-S Battery Cathode To Address Sulfur’s Poor Conductivity And Interfacial Instability MATERIAL PROPERTIES

EC PERFORMANCE

Pristine S

Synthesis: The material is synthesized by grinding S and I2 powders, followed by heating to 80°C. The I2 molecules are integrated into the S lattice, forming a unique crystalline structure. Key Properties: S9.3I exhibits semiconductor-level conductivity (5.9 × 10−7 S cm−1 at 25°C) and features a low melting point (~65°C), enabling self-healing of damaged interfaces through periodic remelting.

Electrochemical Advantages: 87% capacity retention at 400 cycles. High specific capacities (811.8 - 1211.3 mAh g−1) over a range of temperatures (25–100°C).
