I wonder if this will improve prospects for battery-electric aviation? (It might not, if it's let down by energy density, for example.)

- darksaints 5y agoThe theoretical limits of lithium sulfur batteries are about equivalent to methanol in terms of energy density, so if it is an application where methanol is out of the question (i.e. the vast majority of commercial aviation), then this is definitely too far away from practical. Looks like it could probably get close for commuter planes though.
