Summary Reader Response Final Draft: Lithium-Sulphur Batteries

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
