Carbon with hierarchical pores from carbonized metal-organic frameworks for lithium sulphur batteries.
This work, based on nanostructured carbon scaffolds, is a milestone in solving problems in high-energy-density lithium-sulphur batteries. Has led to a patent application (GB1301639.9), a licence to a Chinese company (Margaret.Wilkinson@enterprise.cam.ac.uk), collaboration with US and Chinese universities, an application to EPSRC-NSF for a UK-China project with support from battery companies (Nexion and Enersys), collaboration with DSTL, invitation to organize International Symposium on Sustainable Manufacturing of Batteries in Mexico in 2014 in honour of the Nobel laurate Shetman and the 2013 DOW/Cambridge SISC Grand Prize to Xi, Cao & Peng. A spin-out, CAMBATTERY Ltd has been set up.
