CARRAGEENAN A SEAWEED DERIVATIVE CAN STABILIZE LITHIUM SULFUR BATTERIES SURPRISINGLY

CARRAGEENAN, A SEAWEED DERIVATIVE, CAN STABILIZE LITHIUM-SULFUR BATTERIES SURPRISINGLY

Lithium-sulfur batteries are suitable for both vehicle and grid applications as they are ultra-cheap, high-energy devices. Sulfur is a very low-cost material and the energy capacity is much higher than that of lithium-ion. So, lithium-sulfur is one chemistry that can possibly meet the demand for energy storage at a cheap price. However, the serious problem is, lithium-sulfur
