Powerful, rechargeable, green batteries play a key role in the energy transition, for example as stationary intermediate energy storage units from renewable energy sources or in electric cars to displace fossil fuels. One of the promising candidates is called lithium-sulfur battery. However, there are a few technical challenges, e.g. the low conductivity of sulphur, its massive volume change upon discharging and finding a suitable cathode, that are impeding the broad commercialization of Li-S batteries.
Humboldt-fellow Dr. Preeti Bhauriyal from India works at the group of Theoretical Chemistry at TU Dresden in order to research metal and covalent organic frameworks (MOFs and COFs) for various applications. Her overall aim is to design conductive metal organic frameworks based cathode hosts for efficient, long-life Lithium-Sulfur batteries (Li–S batteries) as promising energy-storage systems of the future.
