Australian researchers claim they have developed a battery that can keep a smartphone charged for five days or power an electric car for over 600 miles.
If the technology comes to be used widely, it would represent a significant breakthrough in the hunt for greener, more efficient energy. The team from Monash University in Melbourne says the lithium-sulfur battery it has created is the"world's most efficient," and can outperform traditional batteries by four times.The researchers said they are"on the brink" of commercializing the innovation, and touted its benefits for the fight against climate change.
According to battery experts The Faraday Institution, the widespread use of lithium-sulfur batteries faces"major hurdles" stemming from sulfur's"insulating nature," and degradation of the metallic lithium anode. The team in Australia, whose research was published in the journal Science Advances, reconfigured the design of sulfur cathodes so that they are able to withstand higher stress loads without seeing a drop in overall performance.
