COVID-19 analysis:
The outbreak of coronavirus has negative effect on the development of various industries as government actions to curb the spread of the virus have hampered the transportation sector across the globe. The lockdown decision of governments across the world to save mortal losses has hampered the lowwork force in industries. Improper distribution of resources across the world and many small countries being extremely dependent on the imports of raw materials from other countries led to shutdown of various industries. In this period, due to improper planning, many companies have issued bankruptcy and were closed down. During this period, economic and power crisis are created due to the outbreak of this virus and various restrains implemented by the state ruling members across the world have created various plans to overcome these restrains. Heavy investment in the development of renewable energy sources during this period also boosted the demand for highly efficient energy storage devices such as lithium sulfur battery. Increase in awareness among people has boosted the demand for eco-friendly products; hence, lithium sulfur batteries are being invested by top battery manufacturing companies and research institutes to get the commercialized product.
