Compared with existing lithium-ion batteries, lithium sulfur batteries with elemental sulfur as the positive electrode and metal lithium as the negative electrode have higher energy density, lower raw material cost, and better environmental affinity. However, due to the short cycle life, lithium-sulfur batteries cannot be used in large-scale energy storage and electric vehicles. According to an article published online by the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences," scientists said that an ultra-thin and ultra-light surface compound film was brushed onto the surface of a sulfur electrode, thereby significantly improving the service life of lithium-sulfur batteries.
The paper's first author, Liu Wen, a professor at the Beijing Science and Technology University’s School of Science, said in an interview with a reporter from the Science and Technology Daily that, in theory, lithium-sulfur batteries can achieve three times the energy density of existing lithium-ion batteries and ease the "mileage anxiety" of electric vehicles. . However, the charge and discharge intermediates of the sulfur electrode dissolve into the electrolyte solution, resulting in the loss of sulfur and side reactions, resulting in the lithium-sulfur electrode failing after several weeks of use. Since the lithium-sulfur battery was introduced in the 1960s, scientists have been working hard to improve the stability of sulfur electrodes.
Liu Wen and Assistant Professor Wang Hailiang of the Department of Chemistry at Yale University have developed a simple and easy method of mixing simple dendrimers containing specific functional groups (amides) with graphene, and then coating the surfaces of sulfur electrodes to form a composite membrane. Through the protection of the surface composite film, lithium-sulfur batteries can achieve more than 1,000 stable cycles. With this technology, it is hoped that vehicles with lighter weight, better performance, and lower cost will be produced, which will increase the endurance of electric vehicles.
In addition, the research team at the same time through experiments and theoretical calculations to examine the interaction between the composite film and battery charge and discharge intermediates, and determine the mechanism of chemical sulfur fixation in lithium-sulfur batteries. Compared with existing research reports, the composite membrane can effectively improve the cycling performance of lithium-sulfur batteries without increasing the extra volume or weight, making the lithium-sulfur batteries more practical and practical.

Pillow block, also known as plumber block, which are bearing housings supplied without any bearings and are usually meant for higher load ratings and a separately installed bearing.
Pillow block or Plummer block housings can be used with high-capacity spherical roller bearings or self-aligning ball bearings. They are manufactured from high-strength cast iron as standard but are also available in cast steel or spheroidal graphite cast iron. The housings have a re-lubrication facility and can be used with either oil or grease lubrication.
Pillow block or Plummer block can be 1 or 2- piece split types held together by two or four cap bolts. Most bases provide two or four mounting bolts. Most blocks are of Class 30 gray cast iron. For more strength and ductility, usually they can be furnished in ductile iron or cast steel.
We have specialized in producing US/EURO standard bearing housings more than 10 years, could help to design the bearing housing or produce the Bearing Housing according to your requirements. (OEM accepted)
