Hybrid cathodes improve energy density of lithium-sulfur batteries

Thanks to their better energy density and light weight, lithium-sulfur batteries hold a lot of promise as a potential successor to the time-honored lithium-ion batteries. But there have been growing pains, and the emerging technology has its own problems to overcome. Now, engineers have developed a new type of hybrid cathode for a lithium-sulfur battery, that seems to boast better energy density than existing versions of both lithium-ion and lithium-sulfur batteries.
