In five years, your smartphone could be powered completely differently. Sony has revealed that is developing new sulfur rechargeable battery technology that would replace lithium-ion (li-ion) units. The goal is to have them ready for the market in 2020. By using sulfur compounds as material for the electrode, the energy density per volume (i.e. the energy […]

Lithium-ion batteries, for the moment, are the best solution for lightweight [relatively] and reliable portable power, but various other battery formulations, such as lithium sulfur, could be a better option. As we know, lithium-ion batteries are not without their problems. The very thing that makes lithium-ion batteries so effective, the liquid electrolyte, also makes them […]

Researchers at Stanford University have recently discovered how they can increase the lifespan of lithium-sulfur batteries, by up to ten times. Lithium-ion batteries may be the accepted norm for most automotive traction applications, and with good reason. Lithium-ion can withstand thousands of cycles without losing too much of their capacity, and they are the most energy-dense batteries […]

Based on recent discoveries by University of Waterloo University scientists from Ontario, a team of Stanford researchers developed an electrode that can provide more energy density in lithium-sulfur batteries. Their experiments promise an improvement of 4 times the capacity of a standard lithium-ion battery, if current issues are overcame.

Even if lithium-ion batteries are more known on the market and considered the most reliable, cheap and safe to use, lithium-sulfur batteries are catching up fast. There were several problems reported to the lithium-sulfur batteries but they will be solved in the close future as the capacity of the lithium-sulfur batteries is several times the one of the lithium-ion.
