Problems solved by technology

However, lithium-sulfur batteries still face many challenges, including the poor conductivity of sulfur (5×10 -30 Scm -1 , 25°C), low ion diffusion coefficient, large volume change (~80%), and polysulfide dissolution. These series of problems lead to low Coulombic efficiency, poor cycle life and capacity of lithium-sulfur batteries during charge and discharge. The attenuation is serious, which restricts the further marketization of lithium-sulfur batteries
