U Mich team develops 1,000-cycle lithium-sulfur battery

Green Car Congress

A University of Michigan team has shown that a network of aramid nanofibers, recycled from Kevlar, can enable lithium-sulfur batteries to overcome their Achilles heel of cycle life, delivering an estimated 1,000 real-world cycles. Sulfur is much more abundant than the cobalt of lithium-ion electrodes.

Lyten to build lithium-sulfur battery gigafactory in Nevada – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

Lithium-sulfur batteries, which feature high energy density, and don’t need problematic minerals such as nickel, cobalt, manganese and graphite, are widely seen as a possible replacement for today’s lithium-ion batteries. The planned 1.25-million-square-foot Today is the latest milestone in Lyten’s nine-year history.
