Team develops high-capacity Li-ion sulfur battery; no Li-metal anode

Green Car Congress

The “classic” high-energy capacity Lithium-sulfur battery is predicated on the use of a sulfur-based cathode and a Lithium-metal anode. Among the issues hampering the commercialization of this attractive technology are the safety and performance issues associated with the use of the lithium-metal anode. cost and high?energy?storage
