Polysulfide-Blocking Polymer Membrane Separators for Rechargeable Lithium-Sulfur Batteries The advanced energy economy will be a dominant market force in the 21st century, one driven by US demand but asymmetrically low domestic supply without immediate action. This has the potential to displace over 4.2 Sepion Technologies.
