Protected Anodes for Litium Sulfur Batteries (PALIS)

Stage: Round 3

The Protected Anodes for Lithium Sulphur Batteries Project (PALIS) project will develop a protected lithium anode for Li-S batteries, mitigating side reactions, resulting in higher performance, energy density, and lower-cost cells for smart grid energy storage. The approach allows replacing critical metals in Li-ion batteries with more economical carbon, sulphur, and lithium. The five consortium combines expertise in novel materials and electrode design, PVD and polymer composite coating, scale-up of electrodes and industrially relevant sized pouch cells, module, pack testing and system design. The project will deliver a module design study, evaluating the performance of new technology components in connection with usage patterns in the energy storage sector.
