all-solid sulfur-based battery outperforms lithium-ion technology

(1/1)

--- Quote ---Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have designed and tested an all-solid lithium-sulfur battery with approximately four times the energy density of conventional lithium-ion technologies that power today's electronics.
The ORNL battery design, which uses abundant low-cost elemental sulfur, also addresses flammability concerns experienced by other chemistries.

At this rate maybe we can get that week long cellphone battery in a year or so.
Heck a laptop battery that can go a month between charges? Would be nice.

Wonder if there is a memory in sulfur like there is in all metal ion batteries?

The only downsides are the horrible rotten egg smell and yellow stains we'll have to contend with

Yawn, another "miracle" battery technology that most likely will never see market.

Here's one made from algae: http://www.livescience.com/5908-paper-thin-batteries-algae.html
