• The solid sulfur is reduced
to form polysulfides.
• The high-voltage plateau
(2.4-2.1V) is related to the
reduction of elemental
sulfur to the higher order
lithium polysulfides (Li2Sn, 8
≥ n ≥ 4).
• Further reduction of high-
order polysulfides (Li2Sn, n
≥ 4) to lower-order (Li2Sn,
n<4) occurs at the low-
voltage plateau (<2.1V). 33

56. FUTURE RESEARCH STEPS
• R &D mainly towards high density and low cost Battery
• Safety is the priority, more focus on solid state technology.
• Green technology to avoid toxic waste
• High density packing with thin film technology
• Large cycle durability with high temperature operation.
• Light weight and smaller volume.
