Fig. 5: ADEKA’s Lithium–Sulfur/Pouch Cell (ALIS-PC) design with the sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) cathode for an ultra-lightweight Li–S rechargeable battery cell.

The left graphic shows a conventional lithium–sulfur (Li–S) constitution design. The right graphic shows the state-of-the-art ultra-lightweight Li–S constitution design, that is ALIS-PC, developed in this work. The ALIS-PC design is well suited to our SPAN (ADEKA AMERANSA SAM-8).
