Thinner lithium sulfur batteries may be closer thanks to a foamed, protein-based binder that forms microchannels inside the cathode. A new report says those pathways survive calendering, even after ...

Researchers in China have reported a laboratory-scale sodium–sulfur battery design that, if it can be translated beyond the ...

Engineers developed a cathode material for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries that is healable and highly conductive, overcoming longstanding challenges of traditional sulfur cathodes. The advance holds ...

The new cathode material is a crystal composed of sulfur and iodine. The cathode material has a low melting point of 65 Celsius, enabling self-healing of damaged interfaces. A test battery constructed ...

Researchers have made progress toward realizing solid-state batteries made of sulfur and lithium. A team of engineers at the University of California, San Diego, created a novel cathode material for ...
