Progress in lithium-sulfur batteries
Progress in lithium-sulfur batteries Scientists from the University of Michigan, led by Professor Nicholas Kotov, have developed a lithium-sulfur battery capable of maintaining consistent performance over more than 1,000 charge-discharge cycles, thanks to a “bio-inspired battery membrane” made from recycled Kevlar fibers. This innovation resolves the main weakness of lithium-sulfur batteries: rapid degradation. Indeed, these […]

Discover the different types of lithium batteries
Discover the different types of lithium batteries Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous. They were developed in the early 90s, thanks to three main advantages: their higher energy density compared to previously used technologies, their lightness, and the lack of memory effect, unlike Nickel-Cadmium batteries. It is this balance between energy density and weight that positions lithium […]
