Research Shows Sulfur Cathodes Show High Theoretical Promise, but Practical Battery Performance Remains a Major Barrier

• Sulfur cathodes remain a prominent area of battery research because they combine low-cost, abundant materials with very high theoretical energy density. A study published in Nature by researchers from CY University, the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC), the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), ICREA, and Fuzhou University examines sulfur-based battery systems through…
