Over the past twelve or so, I started to incorporate a deeper level of thinking when it comes to completing an assignment, or when it comes to just goi...
The article “How an accidental discovery made this year could change the world” by Lockett (Apr 2022) explains how the newfound Lithium-Sulphur (Li-S) powered battery could be implemented and change the way we live our lives. Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries have always been the go to choice for a wide range of applications. However, the use of Li-S batteries could end up being revolutionary due to its potential increase in battery lifecycle, as well as being more environmentally friendly to mass produce. Weighing approximately 60% less than Li-ion batteries, and having twice the lifespan, going fully electric in commercial transportation now seems feasible. In addition, Earth being lithium and sulphur rich makes mining resources for lithium-sulphur batteries much more eco-friendly, as well as ensuring that there is a strong supply chain in the industry. However, Engineers and scientists at the University of Drexel, California (USA), are still doing more research to make the use of Li-S ...
