Sulfur is an abundant and cost-effective mineral that can hold more energy than traditional ion-based lithium batteries.

Argonne National Lab breakthrough advances lithium-sulfur batteries one step closer to commercial use.

Increased energy density at lower costs is the ultimate goal when it comes to making better batteries for smartphones, toys, tools, and electric vehicles. Lithium-sulfur batteries have shown the potential to outperform traditional lithium-ion batteries on both these fronts.

This is wh...
