China’s General New Energy (GNE) recently announced a major breakthrough in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery technology, unveiling a prototype with an energy density of 700 Wh/kg.
According to GNE, this new battery not only far exceeds the energy density of existing lithium-ion batteries, but also offers significant improvements in mileage and safety.
Lithium-sulfur batteries, which use sulfur as the cathode and lithium metal as the anode, are a promising alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Theoretically, Li-S batteries can achieve an energy density of up to 2,600 Wh/kg, which is more than five times that of their lithium-ion counterparts. Furthermore, sulfur is abundant, cheap and environmentally friendly, giving Li-S batteries a cost and sustainability advantage.
