Abstract
Improved lithium-sulfur energy storage systems can utilizes LiSas a component in an electrode of the system. For example, the energy storage system can include a first electrode current collector, a second electrode current collector, and an ion-permeable separator separating the first and second electrode current collectors. A second electrode is arranged between the second electrode current collector and the separator. A first electrode is arranged between the first electrode current collector and the separator and comprises a first condensed-phase fluid comprising LiS. The energy storage system can be arranged such that the first electrode functions as a positive or a negative electrode.
