由於高能量密度和成本效益潛力，鋰硫電池有可能擾亂市場

鋰離子電池（LIB）正在引領全球能源儲存和電氣化革命，但參與大規模製造這些電池的商業參與者面臨一定的限制和風險。近年來，鋰離子電池的能量密度已趨於穩定，而當今世界需要能夠提供更高能量密度的儲能解決方案。此外，解決電動車(EV) 的單次充電續航里程問題並使鋰離子電池能夠用於新型家用電子電器用途也非常重要。此外，鋰離子電池製造中使用的某些金屬（例如鈷和鎳）面臨採礦挑戰和價格波動，這損害了電池製造商和最終用戶的商業經濟。鋰硫 (Li-S) 電池的生產不需要這些微量元素，因此不存在相關風險。

此外，鋰硫電池的能量密度超過500Wh/kg，具有突出的優勢。這是目前商用電池化學物質（包括鋰離子電池）無法實現的壯舉。這些非凡的儲能能力還有可能徹底改變其他產業，例如電動車、消費性電子產品、醫療保健和電力設備。

Frost & Sullivan 的這項研究描述了鋰硫電池的最新技術，包括運行機制以及製造過程中使用的典型材料。我們也評估成長促進因素和阻礙因素因素，並與LIB、鈉離子電池、全釩氧化還原液流電池等現有電池技術進行比較分析（比較參數包括能量密度、安全性、成本、往返效率等）。它還詳細介紹了專利分析、該公司的創新前景以及鋰硫電池採用的關鍵成長機會。

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) lead the global energy storage and electrification revolution; however, commercial participants involved in these batteries' large-scale manufacturing face certain limitations and risks. LIBs' energy density has plateaued over the past few years, and, today, the world requires an energy storage solution that delivers higher energy density. In addition, it is important to eliminate woes pertaining to the range electric vehicles (EVs) offer from a single charge and ensure that LIBs can be used in novel consumer electronic applications. Furthermore, certain metals, such as cobalt and nickel, which are used in LIB fabrication, face mining issues as well as price fluctuations, hurting the economics of operations for battery manufacturers and end users. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries do not require these trace elements in their fabrication, thereby eliminating the associated risks.

Moreover, Li-S batteries offer an exceptional advantage by providing energy densities that exceed 500Wh/kg, a feat not achievable by today's commercially available battery chemistries, including LIBs. These extraordinary energy storage capabilities also help these batteries to potentially revolutionize other industries, including electric mobility, consumer electronics, healthcare, and power equipment.

This Frost & Sullivan study describes Li-S batteries' technology landscape, including their working mechanism and the typical materials used during fabrication. It also evaluates growth drivers and restraints and offers a comparative analysis with incumbent battery technologies, such as LIBs, sodium-ion batteries, and vanadium redox flow batteries (parameters compared include energy density, safety, cost, and round-trip efficiency). The study also discusses the patent analysis and the company innovation landscape and details growth opportunities that act as key enablers for Li-S adoption.
