Innovative Lithium-Sulfur Rechargeable Flow Battery for Storing Renewable Power

It is well known that solar power and wind power are the most sought-after renewable energy sources. However, they have not been extensively connected to the U.S. grid due to intermittency issues. That is, they mandate the use of energy-storage systems that, at the least, run nearly $100 per kilowatt hour and can be operated in only specific locations.
