Abstract:
Composite structures including an ion-conducting material and a polymeric material (e.g., a separator) to protect electrodes are generally described. The ion-conducting material may be in the form of a layer that is bonded to a polymeric separator. The ion-conducting material may comprise a lithium oxysulfide having a lithium-ion conductivity of at least at least 10−6 S/cm.
Abstract:
Described herein is a process for the production of moldings made of porous material impregnated with polysulfide, the process including the following steps: (a) insertion of the porous material into a mold; (b) introduction of liquid polysulfide into the mold at a flow velocity within the porous material in the range from 0.5 to 200 cm/s; (c) cooling of the polysulfide to a temperature below the melting point of the polysulfide; and (d) removal of the porous material impregnated with the polysulfide.
