Global Lithium-Sulfur Battery Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that utilizes lithium as the anode and sulfur as the cathode. They have gained significant attention as a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost, and abundance of sulfur. In a Li-S battery, during the discharge process, lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode, while sulfur undergoes a series of electrochemical reactions, resulting in the formation of lithium sulfide compounds. The reverse process occurs during charging, allowing the battery to be reused. Li-S batteries have the potential to provide higher energy storage capabilities, longer lifespan, and improved environmental sustainability, making them a promising candidate for various applications, including electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems.
