There has been a steady increase in demand for clean and efficient energy storage devices
due to the ever-rising concerns about limited global energy supply and environment and climate
changes. Safe, low-cost, high-energy-density and long-lasting rechargeable batteries are also in
high demand to address pressing environmental needs for energy storage systems that can be
coupled to renewable sources. Due to high volume and gravimetric energy density, rechargeable
lithium batteries have become the dominant power source for portable electronic devices
including cell phones and laptops.

The ability to replace inorganic semiconductors with organic counterparts will decrease
manufacturing costs and allow fabrication of devices over large areas or on lightweight, flexible
substrates.
Organic solar cells will provide less expensive, lighter weight, flexible alternatives to traditional
silicon-based devices: some organic solar cells based on conjugated polymers already exhibit
efficiencies in excess of 4 %,[21] which provides a benchmark for acene-based systems.
One of the most important characteristics to be determined for organic semiconductors is the
charge carrier mobility (m), which is a determining factor in the performance of organic
electronic devices such as field-effect transistors, solar cells, and light-emitting diodes.
Unlike
currently used lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which are based on intercalation chemistries
in the cathode that yield one or fewer than one electron per transition-metal ion,6 a
lithium-sulfur (Li-S) cell takes advantage of the spontaneous and reversible conversion
reaction of sulfur with lithium ions in the cathode to ideally form lithium sulfide (Li2S).
The high energy of these cells derives from the fact that the conversion reaction yields up
to two electrons per sulfur atom (1675 mAh/g) at a potential of around 2.1 V.
Problems :
1. Low electrical conductivity of sulfur
2. Dissolution of polysulfides
3. Volume expansion of sulfur
Effects:
1. Poor cycle life
2. Low specific capacity
3. Low energy efficiency
