Together with research assistant Jeongwoon Hwang, Cho works with other regional scientists to improve lithium-
Sulfur batteries, long considered by many people from lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-
Sulfur batteries have important advantages over lithiumion batteries.
According to Cho, they have lower manufacturing costs, lower weight, and almost twice the energy stored in lithium.
Better ion batteries for the environment. \"A lithium-
\"Sulfur batteries are the next generation of batteries that most research circles think of,\" Cho said . \".
\"Its capacity is about three to five times higher than lithium --

However, lithium
There is no problem with the sulfur battery.
Sulfur is a poor electrical conductor that becomes unstable with only a few chargesand-Recharge cycle.
Another reason for lithium is that the electrode is broken.
Sulfur batteries are not mainstream.
Scientists are trying to improve lithium.
The sulfur battery is made by placing the lithium metal on one electrode and the sulfur on the other.
However, the lithium metal is often too unstable and the sulfur is too insulated.
Scientists have discovered a technology to produce sulfur.
The carbon nanotubes material and nano-material coating that produce more conductivity on one electrode create stability for the other electrode.
The researchers found that the metal element molybdenum, which is usually used to strengthen and harden steel, creates a material that, when combined with two sulfur atoms, can adjust the thickness of the coating, which is thinner than the spider silk-web.
They found that it improved the stability and compensated for the poor conductivity of the sulfur, thus increasing the power density and making the lithium
Commercially viable sulfur batteries.
