Melbourne, Australia: Scientists have made successful experiments in creating a new type of battery, called “lithium-sulfur battery.” This will create lasting batteries for cars and smartphones and are 5 times effective than our normal day batteries.
Australia’s Monash University expert Dosht Sheibani and his colleagues have developed five times better batteries than lithium-ion, and so far it’s the world’s best battery. Its efficiency is up to 99% even after 200 cycles of charge and discharge.
Although the size of the battery is large but if it can be reduced to mobile batteries, it will produce revolutionary batteries result for smartphones. Despite all the goodness, lithium-sulfur batteries have a major drawback that needs to be overcome. The drawback of this battery is that sulfur electrons (electrodes) shrink and spread during charging and recharging.
Although this process also occurs in lithium-ion batteries, sulfur electrons spread by up to 72 percent and lithium-ion electrons only 8 to 10 percent. That’s why ordinary phone batteries are not destroyed by spreading. If the science overcome is defect, then it will provide a major backup in our everyday routine.
