Researchers at MIT and in China are proposing a new class of dense intercalation-conversion hybrid cathodes by combining intercalation-type Mo 6 S 8 with conversion-type sulfur (HMSC) to realize a Li–S full cell. Conversion type cathodes use sulfur that gets transformed structurally and is even temporarily dissolved in the electrolyte.
