CAREER: Understanding Intermediate Sulfur Phases for Enhanced Energy Storage — NSF Award to Oakland University (MI, $619,838)
Sulfur is an attractive material for energy storage because it is abundant, inexpensive, and can store more energy than materials used in batteries today. Still, sulfur-based batteries have not reached their full potential. The various forms sulfur takes during operations are not well understood. This project focuses o

| Abstract | Sulfur is an attractive material for energy storage because it is abundant, inexpensive, and can store more energy than materials used in batteries today. Still, sulfur-based batteries have not reached their full potential. The various forms sulfur takes during operations are not well understood. This project focuses on a newly discovered liquid sulfur phase. This liquid form of sulfur has not been explored even though it may be a transformative energy material. The project will investigate how |
