A group of chemical engineers from Drexel University have found a way to enable their real world application.

Using lithium sulfur batteries could achieve up to 8 times greater energy density than lithium ion designs.

Lithium sulfur is easier to find than cobalt and nickel, plus it can be obtained as a byproduct of industrial processes such as petroleum refining.

Drexel Group's lithium sulfur battery could lead it to a new path for commercializing lithium sulfur batteries.

After a year of testing, they proved their sulfur cathode stabilization over charge discharge cycles which is about two times the duration of a lithium ion battery.

Their initial battery capacity is about 3 times that boasted by the lithium ion competition.

Drexel 's lithium sulfur battery may be finally pulling the sought after battery within commercial reach.

With lower cost, higher power density, and greater durability, this technology could change the way we think about energy storage for good.

Leighton 's pilot plant is supposed to go online some point in 2022 .
