Although lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are promising energy storage systems, they still suffer from a few drawbacks, including the migration of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPS) intermediates, severe volume change, and low conductivity of sulfur.
Li-S Batteries as Energy Storage Systems
Increasing energy demand calls for high energy storage technology. Li-S batteries have high energy density and high specific capacity making them highly valued energy storage systems….
