Advancing next-generation batteries towards 4S: Stable, safe, smart, sustainable

(Science China Press) Next-generation batteries such as Li-S have been reviving in both the academic and the industry because of their great potential in extending the range of electric vehicles and lowering the battery costs. Scientists from Australia summarize the latest advances in functional membrane separators for application in several important next-generation battery systems and propose a novel concept of 4S (stable, safe, smart, sustainable), to guide the future direction of separator r...
