Lithium-sulfur batteries are one step closer to powering the future — ScienceDaily

Spark Powered

With a new design, lithium-sulfur batteries could reach their full potential. Most of these devices use well-known batteries”>lithium-ion battery technology. Early lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries did not perform well because sulfur species (polysulfides) dissolved into the electrolyte, causing its corrosion.
