Coal often contains significant quantities of sulphur in mineral and organic forms, which on combustion yield sulphur dioxide and other pollutants linked to acid rain and respiratory illness.

Lithium-ion batteries represent the majority of batteries in consumer electronics and electric vehicles. Today, scientists are looking for new chemistries that could improve the energy density and ...

Sulfur is an attractive cathode material due to its high specific capacity (1,675 mA h g –1) and low cost. Therefore, lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have high energy density and show promise for use ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Some very old chemistry may provide a new trick for making better batteries. Scientists have developed a strategy that makes sulfur-based batteries much more efficient by exploiting ...
