Zeta Energy closes $23M Series A round led by Moore Strategic Ventures for its advanced lithium-sulfur technology. Zeta Energy uses a patented carbon nanotube graphene hybrid material as its anode.
Researchers at Drexel discover a new way of producing and stabilizing a rare form of sulfur that functions in a carbonate electrolyte. This development has the potential not only to make sulfur batteries commercially viable, but also to provide 3 times the capacity of Li-ion batteries for 4,000 cycles.
