Long-term cycling test results of the Li/S cell with CTAB-modified S-GO composite cathodes. This result represents the longest cycle life (exceeding 1500 cycles) with an extremely low decay rate (0.039% per cycle) demonstrated so far for a Li/S cell.

For electric vehicles to have a 300-mile range, the battery should provide a cell-level specific energy of 350 to 400 Watt-hours/kilogram (Wh/kg). This would require almost double the specific energy (about 200 Wh/kg) of current lithium-ion batteries...
