Abstract

Li/S batteries have received too much attention due to their considerable theoretical energy density suitable for high energy applications. Here, we study the consequences of the SEI layer on internal resistance of the single battery cell due to polysulfide (PS) shuttling. The growth in resistance is related to the capacity fading of the cell. Using a model of series resistors, the total internal ionic resistance over cycling performance is expressed and compared for various nanostructured cathodes at different rates. It has been shown that SEI layer is the most significant factor in increasing of ionic resistance at the beginning of the battery aging, while electrode degradation and other phenomena are dominating resistance rise over higher cycles. We also demonstrate that cathodes with smaller equivalent porosity represent an excellent performance in preventing internal resistance enhancement.
