"Lithium-sulfur batteries not only store much more energy than lithium-ion, but they also don't rely on rare minerals like cobalt, nickel, and graphite. They could help technologies like electric vehicles, drones, and planes become far more efficient."
"The promise of lithium-sulfur batteries has been there for decades but until now it has not been possible to realise this potential because of the inherent chemistry challenges of working with sulfur," explained Dr Ismail Sami, co-founder and CEO of Molyon.
"To overcome this problem, Molyon has developed a cathode technology based on metallic molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2), a compound made up of sulfur and molybdenum, an abundant element found in the Earth's crust."
"Today, the startup secured $4.6mn to kickstart manufacturing at its first pilot facility, indicating a significant step toward commercializing lithium-sulfur technology."
