Graphene Sheets Improve Performance of Carbon-Sulfur Cathodes for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Caption

Researchers used TACC supercomputers to simulate the behavior of new materials for use in lithium metal batteries. Here: (a) sulfur/graphene mixture at low lithium contents, (b) closer view of the lithium-sulfur interaction at low lithium contents, and (c) lithium-sulfur electronic charge distribution at low lithium contents.
