Solvent-Free Dry-Process for Developing High-Performance Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

While much attention has been given to the manufacturing of electrodes in secondary batteries, the solvent-free dry-process manufacturing technology has emerged as a promising approach for the production of advanced lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, addressing key economic, environmental, and performance challenges associated with current Li-ion battery systems. This review explores research on Li-S batteries that incorporate dry-process technology, highlighting the benefits and challenges of this approach. We analyze how this innovative strategy could address the limitations in Li-S battery chemistry. Ultimately, this review provides a critical perspective on the potential of solvent-free manufacturing to realize commercially viable Li-S batteries, with particular attention to the future advancement of all-solid-state Li-S batteries.
