Microgrid Energy Storage using Lithum-Sulfur Batteries

Stage: Round 3

OXIS Energy collaborates with the University of Southampton to demonstrate a cost-effective Lithium Sulphur battery for microgrid energy storage. Exploiting OXIS’s core technology with a new electrolyte classification to extend cycle life, the University assesses and tests electrolyte formulations using novel electrochemical techniques. OXIS scales up the electrolytes, characterizing their performance in prototype Li-S battery cells. This project aims to prove the commercial feasibility of the rechargeable battery technology for stationary energy storage, potentially reducing costs, carbon emissions, and enhancing the UK’s energy security by reducing reliance on fossil fuel imports.
