Zeta Energy makes a breakthrough in lithium-sulfur battery technology
Cheap, abundant and sustainable. Sulfur may not be the most glamorous of elements—some may associate it with rotten eggs, stinky well water, or even the devil, as invoked in a country preacher’s fire-and-brimstone sermon. But as a component of an EV battery cathode, sulfur has a lot to offer. The yellow stuff is lighter and… Read more »
