Summary
A class of chemical reactions called multi-step multi-electron conversion reactions may help improve a variety of energy storage technologies including next generation batteries. However, controlling these chemical reactions is challenging. This CAREER project will conduct experiments to analyze these reactions in a lithium-sulfur battery as a model system. The results will show how the chemistry and material properties of such systems affect their performance. The outcomes will help improve the predictability and efficiency of battery materials and improve resource utilization. The proje
