由于高能量密度和成本效益潜力，锂硫电池有可能扰乱市场

锂离子电池（LIB）正在引领全球能源储存和电气化革命，但参与大规模製造这些电池的商业参与者面临一定的限制和风险。近年来，锂离子电池的能量密度已趋于稳定，而当今世界需要能够提供更高能量密度的储能解决方案。此外，解决电动车(EV) 的单次充电续航里程问题并使锂离子电池能够用于新型家用电子电器用途也非常重要。此外，锂离子电池製造中使用的某些金属（例如钴和镍）面临采矿挑战和价格波动，这损害了电池製造商和最终用户的商业经济。锂硫 (Li-S) 电池的生产不需要这些微量元素，因此不存在相关风险。

此外，锂硫电池的能量密度超过500Wh/kg，具有突出的优势。这是目前商用电池化学物质（包括锂离子电池）无法实现的壮举。这些非凡的储能能力还有可能彻底改变其他产业，例如电动车、消费性电子产品、医疗保健和电力设备。

Frost & Sullivan 的这项研究描述了锂硫电池的最新技术，包括运行机制以及製造过程中使用的典型材料。我们也评估成长促进因素和阻碍因素因素，并与LIB、钠离子电池、全钒氧化还原液流电池等现有电池技术进行比较分析（比较参数包括能量密度、安全性、成本、往返效率等）。它还详细介绍了专利分析、该公司的创新前景以及锂硫电池采用的关键成长机会。

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.
