Lithium-sulfur batteries have exceptional theoretical capacity and performance in combination with an element in abundant supply. But the intricate reaction mechanism, particularly during discharge, ...

Lithium–sulfur batteries could store substantially more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries while relying on sulfur, an abundant and ...

Despite natural evidence indicating sulfur's importance and efficiency as a catalyst for critical redox reactions, including hydrogenation (addition of hydrogen to molecule) and dehydrogenation (its ...

Researchers captured in real time how iron-sulfur nanostructures form in solution, using time-resolved X-rays to follow the pathway from precursors to ultrathin layers. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at ...

What if there were a better, cheaper and more powerful alternative to lithium-ion batteries? Lithium-sulfur batteries are the game-changing tech.

Researchers discovered that sulfur trioxide can form products other than sulfuric acid in the atmosphere by interacting with organic and inorganic acids. These previously uncharacterized acid sulfuric ...

The very first cells obtained their energy from geochemical reactions. LMU researchers have now managed to recreate this ancient metabolic process in their laboratory. Most likely, the earliest ...

Researchers have developed a molecularly engineered interlayer that tackles one of the biggest barriers ...

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries combine the abundance and affordability of sulfur with an energy storage capability far beyond that of current lithium-ion technologies. Practical deployment, however, ...
