Competitive landscape
Li-S competes with lithium-ion (NMC, LFP), sodium-ion, and solid-state lithium-metal batteries. Solid-state Li-metal shares the anode chemistry but avoids polysulphide dissolution entirely — arguably a superior long-term path if electrolyte conductivity scales. Sodium-ion undercuts on cost but caps at ~160 Wh/kg. Li-air offers higher theoretical density but is further from practical deployment.
