Finding sustainable energy storage solutions to replace fossil fuel based sources is a major challenge in mitigating the global climate crisis. Battery technology is anticipated to be the most promising alternatives to fossil fuels, providing low cost, long life, high energy and power density replacements with minimal environmental and social impact. With Li ion reaching its limits, battery development is now crucial, being employed in a range of technologies, including the renewable energy sector, transportation industry and electronic devices such as laptops and smartphones. Li S technology is considered one of the most promising next generation batteries because of their significant energy density approx. ten times greater than the current Li ion and the high theoretical capacity of sulfur, 1675 mA h g 1. However, these batteries don't last as long as their Li ion counterparts due to considerable degradation over time.
