Uppsala U team identifies main performance bottlenecks in Li-sulfur battery performance

Green Car Congress

A research group from Uppsala University has now identified the processes that are limiting the performance of the sulfur electrodes that in turn reduces the current that can be delivered. They also have higher energy storage capacity and work well at much lower temperatures. However, they suffer from short lifetimes and energy loss.
