The problem has been that, in use the electrodes deteriorated rapidly, and the batteries broke down. There were two reasons for this – the positive sulfur electrode suffered from substantial expansion and contraction weakening it and making it inaccessible to lithium, and the negative lithium electrode became contaminated by sulfur compounds.

A nasty, long-burning fire near San Diego, Calif., last month provides graphic evidence of a risk inherent in large lithium-ion battery energy storage systems. As battery storage becomes more common with the rise of intermittent energy generation from solar and wind power, fire protection likely will become a prominent public concern. On May 15, a fire broke out at a
Empirically, we study the new energy vehicle battery (NEVB) industry in China since the early 2000s. In the case of China''s NEVB industry, an increasingly strong and complicated coevolutionary relationship between the focal TIS and relevant policies at different levels of abstraction can be observed.
