Stanford University scientists have created a new ultrahigh surface area three-dimensional porous graphitic carbon material that significantly boosts the performance of energy-storage technologies. Previously reported sulfur electrodes often had areal capacity of below 3 mAh g −1 and cycling lifetime of less than 200 cycles.

Volkswagen has also invested in next-generation batteries, including lithium-sulfur and solid-state. It’s striking, Lux said, that the US EPA, with its $8-billion budget and workforce of 15,000 staff, couldn’t catch VW, but a small team of researchers from West Virginia University could.
