        Description: |  
| This patent marks the advent of lithium-sulfur battery technology. It would be decades before "polysulfide shuttling", a weakness of this battery chemistry, would be solved. As of 2025, further development has produced lithium-sulfur batteries that can maintain at least 80% or their original capacity for 20,000 charge cycles. Work continues on mass production of this type of battery. |
