If the technology comes to be used widely, it would represent a significant breakthrough in the hunt for greener, more efficient energy. The team from Monash University in Melbourne says the lithium-sulfur battery it has created is the"world's most efficient," and can outperform traditional batteries by four times.The researchers said they are"on the brink" of commercializing the innovation, and touted its benefits for the fight against climate change.
According to battery experts The Faraday Institution, the widespread use of lithium-sulfur batteries faces"major hurdles" stemming from sulfur's"insulating nature," and degradation of the metallic lithium anode. The team in Australia, whose research was published in the journal Science Advances, reconfigured the design of sulfur cathodes so that they are able to withstand higher stress loads without seeing a drop in overall performance.

GrantGbliss I need one
Omg 😮
Prime example of what I said in this link: Is this reply to the developers of that battery. No battery can oust fossil fuel unless it can be charged in 2 minutes or less over and over again. Or the time it takes to fill your fossil fuel tank from empty.
Great🤜🏽
I don’t know whether electric cars are super energy efficient or the test user of that smartphone scrolls endlessly and never sleeps.
except it goes bad rapidly and fails and u gotta buy a new one
I am voting for Trump on November 3rd
Australian energy crisis solved?
My phone stays charged for a week or longer. I just turn the sucka'off.........
One question : will it save all these Congolese children from working in cobalt mines? If not this innovation doesn’t bring anything good.
Meanwhile, Australia is still burning but here's an innovative distraction to keep your hope up.
Where can I get one
Australian researchers claim they have developed a battery that can keep a Pokédex charged for five days or power an atomic cat for over 600 miles.
Well drop already tf you waiting for
MKBHD LewLater
MKBHD 🤔
With all the facts they gave, they might as well have said it a nuclear fueled battery
love Australia
I have a battery that can keep my phone charged for three months. It's a car battery. Downside is it's as heavy as fuck to carry around
Fuck that's again now
Oh another battery revolution? I lost count after the first dozen or so since 2017
We had phones that lasted days once lol
Wow!
Do they think this will help them from the bushfires taking over their country?
How many enslaved youth needed to get the precious metels needed for these batteries?
“However, the there are some challenges and limitations associated with the technology.” The big however
It's heartwarming to hear something good come out of Australia with all they're going through with bushfiresAustralia
👌
Wooow..BlackBerry had two weeks of battery life on their smartphones 10 years ago! Thanks Apple for lowering everyone's expectations of what is considered quality and performance.
Hello, it's Caroline ... I'm new to this site and I want to make new friends
Technology changes everything.
That's bomb!
快把火🔥灭了吧。
Nice
5 days is how long the battery will last .🧹
Great claim. 'However, lithium-sulfur batteries tend to have a far shorter lifespan' (...) there are some challenges and limitations associated with the technology.'
This tech has been known for a while
Finally
One day phone charge is equivalent to 120 miles of electric car? 🤔
And that is why this, just like graphene batteries, the technology will be suppressed. I mean who will purchase new cellphones if your phone battery lasted a week.
shiet chemistry breakthrough already being cloned
Take care of you’re dying animals first!!!
Maybe it's cus I'm a loser but I cld probably make my phone last 5 days
Technology keeps growing everyday day, good job guys 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👍
tell them they can email me directly
Want one for my emtb
Dont they have enough fires already?
Good
I think Australia got more to worry about buddy
Mwes_Drew The same Australia the world is praying for ?
LOL 😂 Fairy tales
Has anyone seen what lithium mining does to the earth? I thought CNN was all about mother earth. Guess not. And then theres the child labor involved. SMH
Bad timing on this CNN. Could have waited a week.
Like we need this
This is revolutionary for the coming developments of the world!
its called fire
Tesla FYI 👆🏻👆🏻
Makers of iPhone reading this article and are like
Or run Minecraft on a laptop for 30 minutes
If it could really do that, alot of things will change in the upcoming 2 years especially the electric cars.
I rembember 20 years ago when a cellphone could last 2 weeks without charging.
Omg 😮
Yes please! 😁
Useful, if your house is on fire
Will br very great 👍
' a battery that can keep a smartphone charged for five days or power an electric car for over 600 miles.' no wonder my phone needs charging so much if it uses the same amount of power in 5 days that could drive a car 600 miles!
Nice battery , how expensive wiit be. Hate hacker will hack tweet in30 Sec.
Can’t wait to see how big of a fire that will cause. 🔥🔥🔥
Not iPhone only China mobile
the_techgram
Wished they had focused On our way to prevent and stop forest fires rather than something for pure convenience
Showing an Apple phone with this story is a dud - Apple have some of the worst rated batteries in the industry so they won't be taking advantage.
Awesome
600 miles for a car but only 5 days for a phone?!
Do you think Trump is terrorist?
I want it!
This is revolutionary for development in the near future!
Hook me up. I'll let y'all know if it's true.
ClimateEmegency should, indeed, lead to accelerated innovations for survival kits and revisited strategies to mitigate risks UNFCCC UN TabiJoda1
Hope they don't burn up! ,(
Smart
Could charge a battery for 5 days but they can’t put out the fires 🔥 🤨
OK but what about the cost of this battery?
I would hope so With all the hadron colliders in existence they enough power to build a Dolorean with a flux capacitor . Lol
Dang, the efficiency of that phone is awful.
Sort of old news, this basic chemistry was proven many years ago but still isn’t ready for prime time. It definitely surpasses standard LiB energy densities and is lower cost, but doesn’t last enough cycles for most uses.
Cancer
What about electric bus or e-bikes?
Okay, but here in America, we're working on coal powered phones.
Marry Chrasmas!
That's a picture of an iPhone
Should have spent more time trying to research how to put out a fire.
how about some device to pump water from the ocean into the wild fires?
.....is something burning?
I think I'm more surprised that running a smartphone for five days takes the same energy as driving a car over 600 miles....
Way more impressed this can power a car for 600 miles.
They develop anything to stop those fires ?
Breaking in 2022: Will only charge iPhone 13 for five minutes.
Can it talk to one girl like that for me
Can they just come and put it in my phone and I test it out! I promise not to be too hard on them
