Li-sulfur batteries are looked to as a likely next-generation higher energy density energy storage system due to the high theoretical capacity, low cost and high earth abundance of sulfur. A paper on their work is published in the ACS journal Nano Letters. A paper on their work is published in the ACS journal Nano Letters.
