Amazing Things for You

Integration of energy storage systems to renewable energy parts
would make wind and solar energy investment more profitable pro
moting their acceptance. Local, affordable energy storage system
would also reduce need for back-up energy system based on diesel
engine or aggregates based on them. Consequently, threshold for
wider use of renewables is promoted. Li-S battery technology would
provide low cost battery solutions for local grids and off-the grid ap
plication as well allow easily transported mobile units in remote areas
with permanent or reliable grid access.
Successful execution of this project creates technology platform for
material solutions and processing of Li-S batteries with improved cy
clability. Li-S batteries would offer great potential especially for sta
tionary energy storage systems and flying vehicles. Furthermore, it
could be feasible solutions also for certain electric mobility solutions
like e-buses and small trucks as well as marine applications.

Main Objectives

A multidisciplinary project consortium has been established for the realization of the high performance and stable Li-S batteries. Each partner has been nominated with different tasks to accomplish the main idea of the project which targeted to reach the outcomes given in the EC Set Plan 7. Therefore, each partner aimed to realize specific goals according to the project main target. So, the target of this project is to develop Li-S base Li-ion batteries with tailored functional layers in separators and anode side for reaching acceptable battery cyclability for stationary energy applications and other applications like flying vehicles (drones, airplanes, satellites)

Expected Key Results

After optimized the electrodes and electrolytes, large-scale Li-S batteries in the form of pouch cell will be fabricated with 3A-5A-10A capacity and ~400 Wh/kg energy density.
