SPAN Dry Pouch Cell (Lithium-Sulfur Research Cell)

Name: SPAN Dry Pouch Cell (Lithium-Sulfur Research Cell)
Cell Type: SPAN Cathode / Lithium-Metal Anode Pouch Cell
Product Code: XN-SPAN-PC
Brand: Xnergy Materials

Product Introduction:

The SPAN Dry Pouch Cell pairs a sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) cathode with a lithium-metal anode in a wound soft-pouch format, delivering an energy density of around 200 Wh/kg. Built with a water-based electrode process, it gives battery researchers and R&D teams a clean, reproducible lithium-sulfur (Li-S) platform for evaluating SPAN chemistry, electrolyte formulations, and lithium-metal cycling — without the dendrite and polysulfide-shuttle problems of conventional sulfur cathodes. Each cell is built to lab-grade consistency and can be fully customized for size, loading, and capacity.

Key Features:

SPAN cathode covalently bonds sulfur into a conductive polymer backbone, strongly suppressing polysulfide shuttling and capacity fade
Lithium-metal anode for high gravimetric energy density of around 200 Wh/kg
Water-based, eco-friendlier electrode process with no toxic NMP solvent
Better compatibility with carbonate electrolytes for more stable cycling and higher Coulombic efficiency
Reproducible, lab-grade construction for trustworthy comparative test data
Modular and fully customizable — dimensions, SPAN loading, capacity, and electrolyte filling on request

Main Specifications:

Application Areas:

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) and SPAN battery research and development
Electrolyte and additive screening against a stable baseline cell
Lithium-metal anode cycling and interface (dendrite) studies
Benchmarking of SPAN cathodes versus conventional sulfur chemistry
Next-generation high-energy-density development for aviation, defense, drones, and lightweight portable power

Storage & Handling:

Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture
Handle lithium-metal cells with appropriate precautions; avoid short circuits and physical deformation
Charge and discharge within the recommended voltage and current limits for the SPAN/Li system
Allow cells to stabilize at room temperature before testing

Safety Notes:

Use only within the specified voltage and current ranges
Do not puncture, crush, or expose cells to high temperatures
Keep away from water — lithium metal reacts vigorously with moisture
Follow your institution’s protocols for handling and disposing of lithium-metal cells

Specifications are provided for reference and may be adjusted to suit specific research requirements. Configuration and options are specified at order time.

Note: The SPAN Dry Pouch Cell delivers a ready-to-test lithium-sulfur platform that pairs a sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) cathode with a lithium-metal anode for stable, high-energy R&D.
