Researchers at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Texas have found a way to expand the lifespan of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Our cathode uses multiple sulfur bonding tethers, atomic adsorption, and fast Li-ion/electron transport at the molecular level. That means it can preserve a much higher amount of electrical energy.
