Ever since the lithium-sulfur battery breakthrough, various disputes and debates in the battery industry had disappeared. Both the academic community and the industry quietly adopted the new technology.
A bunch of aluminum ion battery projects had been cut off. Instead, companies had redirected their research and development to improve the "modified PDMS materials and HCS-2 materials". These research projects were focused on increasing the energy density and safety of lithium-sulfur batteries.
The reason for this was because lithium was the king of batteries. It was simply impossible for any other periodic element to have a higher energy density than lithium, due to lithium's position on the periodic table.
Lithium batteries had always been the apex predator of batteries, while the lithium-air battery was considered the holy grail of lithium batteries.
