"Current batteries, like the ones in our phones, our laptops, our electric vehicles, they're just not good enough," argues Molyon CEO and co-founder Dr. Ismail Sami. "They're expensive, they contain critical rare materials like cobalt, and they're also just not good enough in terms of performance."
"I have to charge my phone numerous times, sometimes, in a day. There's still 'range anxiety' when people look at buying an electric vehicle. And so lithium-ion batteries, they're really hitting this 'glass ceiling' in performance. We need a next generation - a step change in performance - to enable us to do more and to get to that journey towards Net Zero."
"However, commercialization has stumbled because sulfur reacts inside the battery and ends up accelerating cell degradation, meaning these high energy batteries have historically burnt out fast. And no one wants an amazing battery that only lasts a few charging cycles."
"But now Molyon believes it's found an answer to stabilizing Li-S batteries over 'hundreds of cycles' by using a new material for the cathode that Sami says works efficiently and effectively."
