Innovative and bio-based binders for lithium-sulfur batteries

The main goal of the thesis is to investigate the influence of different binders (bio-based and innovative) on lithium Sulfur batteries in terms of performances, when combined with different carbon-sulfur cathodes. To do so, several binders as well as different cathode compositions has been selected and combined in different ways. The thesis work involves all the steps of making a lithium-sulfur cells: from as received raw materials (carbon, sulfur and binders) to the final assembling in the glovebox and testing via coin cells.
