Developing commercially viable Quasi-Solid-State Li-S batteries for the Automotive market

锂硫电池是一种很有前途的储能技术，适用于需要高性能、轻质电池的领域，例如某些航空航天和电动汽车（EV）应用。该项目专注于准固态锂- s电池的开发，该电池有可能显著提高锂- s电池在使用寿命结束前的循环次数、单位体积可存储的能量以及可运行的温度范围。该项目将结合英国领先的工业和学术合作伙伴联盟的专业知识，加速Li-S电池在航空航天和电动汽车市场的开发、扩大规模和商业化，为英国带来潜在的重大经济效益，并为实现2050年的国家净零碳排放目标做出贡献。项目团队将为准固态锂电池开发合适的电极、分离器、电解质和电池设计。最终交付的产品将是具有高体积能量密度（600 Wh/L以上）、高重量能量（500 Wh/kg以上）、长循环寿命、高安全性和适用于电动汽车市场的宽操作/存储温度窗口的Li-S袋式电池原型的演示和评估。

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are a promising energy storage technology for application where high performance, lightweight batteries are needed, such as in certain aerospace and electrical vehicle (EV) applications. This project focuses on the development of Quasi-Solid-State Li-S batteries that have the potential to significantly enhance the number of times Li-S batteries can be cycled before they reach end of life, the energy they can store per unit volume and the temperature range over which they can operate.This project will combine the expertise of a consortium of leading UK Industrial and Academic partners to accelerate the development, scale-up and commercialisation of Li-S batteries within the aerospace and EV markets, enabling potentially significant economic benefits to the UK and contributing to reaching the National net zero carbon emission target set for 2050\.The Project Team will develop suitable electrodes, separators, electrolytes, and cell design for a Quasi-Solid-State Li-S format. The final deliverable will be the demonstration and evaluation of a Li-S pouch cell prototype with combined high volumetric energy density (above 600 Wh/L), high gravimetric energy (above 500 Wh/kg), long cycle life, high safety, and a broad operating/storage temperature window suitable for the EV market.
