The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is one of the leading solution for energy storage. The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery can hold twice the energy per kilogram as conventional lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered as advantageous battery solution owing to its high theoretical capacity, high energy density, and natural abundance of sulfur. The Lithium-sulfur batteries can be produced with more density compared to Li-ion batteries, as sulfur has low atomic weight. Hence, the lithium-sulfur batteries have more storage capacity. Increasing investments in renewable energy sectors owing to growing awareness for clean energy, which have increased the demand for energy storage devices are the key factors driving the lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery market over the coming years.
