Lithium-Sulfur Battery Advancements Could Change The Game

An Argonne National Laboratory research team has built and tested a new interlayer to prevent dissolution of the sulfur cathode in lithium-sulfur batteries. This new interlayer increases Li-S cell capacity and maintains it over hundreds of cycles. With this new design, lithium-sulfur batteries could reach their full potential. The paper about the research was published in Nature Communications. Batteries energize much of daily life, from cell phones and smart watches to the increasing number of electric vehicles. Most of these devices…
