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

Green Car Congress

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. Now, a team from Spain, Italy and Germany reports an efficient lithium?ion based anode (Li y SiO x –C)—i.e. avoiding the use of a Li metal anode entirely.
