New battery idea gets lots of power out of unusual sulfur chemistry
SMRTR summary
Researchers developed a new battery using unusual sulfur chemistry that achieves over 2,000 Watt-hours per kilogram energy density by forming sulfur tetrachloride at the cathode while sodium plates onto aluminum at the anode. The battery survived 1,400 charge cycles and costs approximately $5 per kilowatt-hour, roughly one-tenth the price of current sodium batteries.
