Rather than taking the more conventional approach of using a sulfur cathode and a lithium metal anode, Jusef Hassoun and Bruno Scrosati have developed a lithium-metal-free battery, using a carbon lithium sulfide composite as the cathode and a tin carbon composite anode. C+4.4Li + +4.4e -. Hassoun and Scrosati.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered as highly promising candidate applied for EVs due to their high specific energy. Very recently, a possible approach has been developed to solve this issue by capturing sulfur within fine holes tailored into carbon hosts. Future work is aimed at addressing these issues. 6b00577.

Some advanced designs use a small amount of silicon, which can store more energy. Silicon has some very desirable properties—it stores significant amounts of energy, it’s very conductive, it’s lighter—but there are some challenges with it. There’s also pre-lithiation of the anode which is kind of preloading it with lithium ions.
