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

锂硫（Li-S）电池是一种有前途的能量存储技术，用于需要高性能、轻质电池的应用，例如某些航空航天和电动车辆（EV）应用。该项目的重点是准固态锂硫电池的开发，该电池有可能显著提高锂硫电池在达到寿命结束前的循环次数，单位体积可储存的能量以及可运行的温度范围。该项目将联合收割机与英国领先的工业和学术合作伙伴联盟的专业知识相结合，以加速开发，在航空航天和电动汽车市场中扩大和商业化锂硫电池，为英国带来潜在的重大经济利益，并为实现2050年的国家净零碳排放目标做出贡献。该项目团队将为准固态锂硫格式开发合适的电极，隔板，电解质和电池设计。最终交付成果将是对锂硫袋式电池原型的演示和评估，该原型具有高体积能量密度（超过600 Wh/L），高重量能量（超过500 Wh/kg），长循环寿命，高安全性以及适用于电动汽车市场的宽操作/存储温度窗口。

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.
