Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have ultra-high energy density (~2600 Wh kg-1) and have great potential as power sources for electric vehicles and portable electronics. However, they suffer from the problems of low practical ability and poor life span, which limit their wide application. This proposed research is to develop elastomer composites as functional binders for LSBs […]

Most rubber products require curing that involves either sulfur or peroxide curing and other ingredients such as accelerators, antioxidants, antiozonants, and heavy metal oxides. Some of these ingredients, either individually or in combination, generate environmental pollutant and hazardous gases and fumes during rubber processing or storage. Thus, there is a continuous need by the rubber […]
