Scientists Develop Two-Level Strategy to Power Next-Gen Lithium–Sulphur Batteries

Lithium-Sulfur Batteries: Does South Korea Have a Safe and Efficient Solution? - Economic Scenarios

Lithium-ion batteries are currently the bottleneck (and main cost) for large-scale electric vehicle deployment. They're heavy, expensive, use critical materials, and, frankly, their energy density is reaching physical limits. The promising alternative has long been recognized: lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. On paper, Li-S technology is almost miraculous: it has a much higher theoretical capacity and energy density. In practice, it's a disaster…

Scientists Develop Two-Level Strategy to Power Next-Gen Lithium–Sulphur Batteries

Researchers at Chung-Ang University have developed a dual-level engineering strategy combining porous carbon nanofibers and cobalt single-atom catalysts. The design enhances redox reactions, reduces material loss, and improves the lifespan of lithium–sulfur batteries, offering major benefits for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.
