Li-S company Sion Power raises $ 50M

Green Car Congress

Lithium ions are stripped from the anode during discharge and form lithium polysulfides in the cathode. Li 2 S in the cathode is the result of complete discharge. On recharge, the lithium ions are plated back onto the anode as the lithium polysulfides in the cathode move towards S 8. Earlier post.).
