Carrageenan, a seaweed derivative, can stabilize lithium-sulfur batteries surprisingly
https://www.electronics-lab.com/carrageenan-seaweed-derivative-can-stabilize-lithium-sulfur-batteries-surprisingly/
Lithium-sulfur batteries are suitable for both vehicle and grid applications as they are ultra-cheap, high-energy devices. Sulfur is a very low-cost material and the energy capacity is much higher than that of lithium-ion. So, lithium-sulfur is one chemistry that can possibly meet the demand for energy storage at a cheap price. However, the serious problem is, lithium-sulfur […]
