Rechargeable Calcium-Sulfur Batteries Enabled by an Efficient Borate-Based Electrolyte.

Rechargeable metal-sulfur batteries show great promise for energy storage applications because of their potentially high energy and low cost. The multivalent-metal based electrochemical system exhibits the particular advantage of the feasibility of dendrite-free metal anode. Calcium (Ca) represents a promising anode material owing to the low reductive potential, high capacity, and abundant natural resources.
