Developing batteries with 10 times the energy storage

To meet the rising global demand for electric vehicles, we need new and improved batteries. One promising candidate are all-solid-state lithium sulfur batteries, which can store nearly 10 times the amount of energy as traditional lithium-ion batteries, according to researcher Justin Kim. This type of rechargeable battery uses sulfur, a material Kim says is more affordable, environmentally friendly, and safer. He and colleagues at Western University used the Canadian Light Source (CLS) to analyze what happens inside these batteries when they are operating, key information for designing longer-lasting, high-energy density batteries.

so they can store more energy, but what's the power density? LiPo batteries are used right now because they're both energy dense, and power dense, with individual cells able to output 10s of Amps of power. If Li-Sulfur is to compete it has to at least match that
