Abstract
Systems and methods for sulfur-containing chemicals as cathode additives for silicon-based lithium ion batteries may include a silicon-based anode, an electrolyte, and a cathode. The cathode may include an active material and a sulfur-containing additive. The cathode active material may include one or more of nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA), nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), and lithium manganese oxide (LMO). The sulfur-containing additive may include elemental sulfur and/or LiS. The sulfur-containing additive may include one or more of lithium polysulfides (LiS, where n=2-8), polysulfides, and organic polysulfides. The sulfur-containing additive may include one or more of metal sulfides, transition metal polysulfide complexes, S-containing organic polymers or copolymer, polymeric sulfur, and transition metal sulfides. The sulfur-containing additive may include 5% or less by weight of the active material, or 1% or less by weight of the active material.
