(See colour insert.) Scheme of a LiSiC/S lithium-ion sulphur battery and its cycling response.
The two plateaus in discharge are associated with the subsequent formation of polysulphides
(cfr. Figure 3.26). (Reprinted from J. Power Sources, 202, J. Hassoun et al., A contribution to the
progress of high energy batteries: A metal-free, lithium-ion, silicon–su
