Summary on Grant Application Form |
The Revolutionary Electric Vehicle Battery (REVB) project aims to develop a revolutionary Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) vehicle
battery and Battery Energy Management (BEM) system which will provide breakthrough improvements in energy density,
cost, range and safety of electric vehicle batteries and put the UK in a world leading position to exploit this.
The project intends to double the rate of improvement of the Oxis Li-S battery, by developing and embedding a model led
R&D culture within Oxis, using a deep understanding of the underlying science which will be developed with Imperial
College to inform product development at Oxis. It is a proven approach within other sectors (such as crash testing) within
the automotive industry, but rarely adopted by battery developers. The project will also develop a battery energy manager,
working with Lotus and Cranfield, in order to be able to push the chemistry to its limits and achieve 400Wh/kg cell energy
density with practical cycle life and performance metrics. The output of the project will offer a battery system for automotive applications that can not only store more energy than today's technology but can also harness significantly more of the that
energy, resulting in a compound improvement for next generation Electric Vehicles.
