According to their study, published in Nature, the new lithium-sulfur battery uses solid electrolytes, which, they found, appears to address most of the solubility issues of intermediate compounds ...

All the latest science news on lithium-sulfur battery from ... of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the electronic structure transition from NiAs- to MnP- type CoPxS1-x compounds ...

During charging and discharging, ions move around inside these batteries. This chemical reaction between the sulfur and lithium generates polysulfides, or “lithium-containing sulfur compounds ...

These compounds not only degrade the suflur cathode, where they grow, ... The structure of the new lithium-sulfur battery (Credit: Ahmet Emre, Kotov Lab) ...

But this week, researchers described a lithium-sulfur battery that still has over 80 percent of its original capacity after 25,000 charge/discharge cycles. All it took was a solid electrolyte that ...

The incorporation of lithium into the sulfur's structure causes it to expand dramatically, which can damage the battery's structural integrity. Finally, sulfur doesn't conduct very well, ...

Researchers are building an all-solid lithium-sulfur battery that is cheap, safe, durable, and stores four times the charge of conventional lithium-ion batteries.
