Lithium-sulfur batteries

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that use lithium and sulfur as their main materials. They have a high energy capacity, meaning they can store more power than traditional lithium-ion batteries, making them ideal for longer-lasting electronics and electric vehicles. During operation, sulfur reacts with lithium to generate electricity, and this process can be repeated through charging and discharging. However, challenges like the formation of solid byproducts and material degradation can affect their lifespan. Researchers are working on improving their stability and cycle life to make Li-S batteries more practical and reliable for everyday use.
