The Journal of Sulfur Chemistry is an international journal for the dissemination of scientific results in the rapidly expanding realm of sulfur chemistry. The journal publishes high quality reviews, ...
Researchers have made progress toward realizing solid-state batteries made of sulfur and lithium. A team of engineers at the University of California, San Diego, created a novel cathode material for ...
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 constructed ...
When you think of the periodic table, some elements just have a vibe to them that’s completely unscientific, but nonetheless undeniable. Precious metals like gold and silver are obvious examples, ...
