This will be followed by an assessment of the perceived technological barriers and the potential energy density gains for so-called post-LiBs, namely lithium-oxygen and lithium-sulfur batteries. On the Li-sulfur side, it is difficult to achieve the expected gravimetric energy density from a lithium sulfur battery-system.

Lithium sulfur (Li?S) S) battery is a promising candidate for next- generation energy storage devices. However, lithium metal has safety and cyclability issues due to the formation of lithium dendrites; the pulverized and detached lithium metal formed during cycling can result in explosions when exposed to air.
