New Process Turns Common Waste Sulfur Into Material Useful For EV Batteries (CleanTechnica)
Large quantities of waste sulfur are created during the refinement of fossil fuels and production of some geothermal energy. This sulfur has previously been considered of little value. But now, thanks to a newly designed process, the waste can be easily converted into a valuable lightweight plastic, one that could likely find great utility in the next generation of lithium-sulfur batteries. Such batteries show great potential for use in electric cars, thanks to their higher efficiency, lighter weight, and lower cost, when compared to lithium-ion batteries. And this new form of sulfur actually works better in lithium-sulfur batteries than elemental sulfur does.
