The cathode’s conductivity isn’t the only significant advance. Melting point tests found that the sulfur iodide cathode has a relatively low melting point of just 65 degrees Celcius (149 degrees ...

A solid electrolyte gives lithium-sulfur batteries ludicrous endurance Sulfur can store a lot more lithium but is problematically reactive in batteries.

This article was originally published with the title “Melting Point and Transformation of Sulphur” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 9 No. 42 (July 1854), p. 334 doi:10.1038 ...

These gases are much hotter than the melting point of sulfur, so any sulfur at the surface near the crack might begin to melt while liquid sulfur also condensed out of the escaping gases.

Engineers developed a cathode material for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries that is healable and highly conductive, overcoming longstanding challenges of traditional sulfur cathodes. The advance ...

The new cathode material is a crystal composed of sulfur and iodine. The cathode material has a low melting point of 65 Celsius, enabling self-healing of damaged interfaces. A test battery ...

In these volatile-rich environments, sulfur behaves like road salt on an icy street—it lowers the melting point by reacting with metallic iron to form iron-sulfide so that it may migrate and ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a new battery design using common materials – aluminum, sulfur and salt. Not only is the battery low-cost, but it’s resistant to fire and failures, and can be ...

The concrete making process involves heating sulfur to 240 °C, over twice its melting point. This liquid sulfur is mixed with the abundant Martian soil, then left to cool.
