Li 2 S) can be accommodated more easily, leading to better cycle stabilities. This process causes the liquid to break down into gas and solids and the battery to dry out. By comparison, the maximum energy density of the lithium-ion batteries currently in use is around 250 Wh/kg. Honolulu PRiME 2012. 2012.10.004.
