Summary Reader Response Draft 3

  The web page “How an accidental discovery made this year could change the world” from BIGTHINK (Lockett, 2022) explores how lithium-ion batteries are inferior to lithium-sulfur batteries. Lithium-ion is used to store charge and power most electrical devices. However, it was reported that lithium-ion harmful to the vast ecosystems, have lifecycle problems from recurrent charging, battery degradation, are not suitable for lightweight applications and volatile inspired Drexel scientists to look into lithium-sulfur batteries  (Lockett, 2022). The lithium-sulfur battery eliminates the above issues, but the trade-off is half the charging cycle of lithium-ion batteries. BIGTHINK reports in comparison to ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries will last twice as long, have three times more energy, charges equally fast, reduce battery expansion, better safety margins, and are cheaper (Lockett, 2022). Lithium-sulfur batteries potentially allow a huge range of activities to go full ele...
