In addition to that, sulfur abundance makes it a good candidate for rechargeable batteries. However, Li-S system has a few challenges that hinder its commercialization. Such as the insulating nature of the sulfur element, volume expansion, capacity fade due to intermittent polysulfide dissolution in the electrolyte and drop in capacity during the initial discharge cycles [3]. Herein, we have designed a Li-S in-operando optical observation cell, which allowed us to visualize the formation of higher to lower-order polysulfides as well as the polysulfide formation and dissolution at different voltages and under different testing conditions. Subsequently, we investigated and compared the loss in capacity when using a modified cathode structure, which was designed to minimize the loss of active material upon lithiation. The real-time recording of the cell under an optical microscope clearly shows a significant loss of active material upon first discharge. Nevertheless, a substantial increase in initial discharge capacity is observed with the use of the modified cathode structure. To further analyze the loss in the battery capacity, we develop a mathematical model that uses fundamental governing equations to predict the loss of active material over cycles.","PeriodicalId":410907,"journal":{"name":"MME Undergraduate Research Symposium 2022","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130895056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
