A recent reference: [https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/1/eaay2757 Expansion-tolerant architectures for stable cycling of ultrahigh-loading sulfur cathodes in lithium-sulfur batteries] published Jan 3, 2020. Apparently, Shaibani et al. have found a partial solution to the very few charge-recharge cycles of these batteries. Instead of about 5 or 10, theirs does more than 200. Still a bit short of what you'd like to see in a battery you own, but, hey, there's talk of phones lasting five days and EV going over 1200km on a charge. Somebody who knows more than I do about the chemistry should add this new development to the page! Quixote9 (talk) 05:51, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Charge/discharge reaction mechanism

Is the reaction mechanism really known or is the reaction pathway in this article rather speculative?

Is it really analogous to the Na/S battery (which operates at about 300 °C, i.e. in a different region of the phase diagram)? There is no detailed reaction mechanism in the Na/S battery Wikipedia article anyway. It would be great if someone could provide a reference for that claim.

Also, the reactions seem to be incorrect or incomplete, since the reactants of the charge process are different from the products of the discharge process (and vice versa). Wimvandorst, I really appreciate the article, but I suspect that at least parts of it are not recognized knowledge. -- (David) 131.243.31.164 (talk) 18:53, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Sulphur/sulfur?

I'm a bit curious why Lithium sulphur battery (with a ph) redirects to Lithium–sulfur battery (with an f), despite the very first words in the article being "The lithium–sulphur battery" (with a ph). 129.67.149.107 (talk) 12:56, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Research

Hello, i think that research section is not suitable for this wikipedia page because hundreds of scientific papers are published each year on Li-S batteries and lot of thems have remarkable results. As consequence, i suggest to rewrite research section in a general way through classification of approach for improving Li-S battery (carbon-sulfur composite, semi-solid eletrolytes and so on.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Egibe (talkcontribs) 12:31, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
