Summary on Grant Application Form |
OXIS Energy, a manufacturer Lithium Sulfur battery technology has formed a collaboration with the University of
Southampton to demonstrate a new rechargeable battery technology capable of achieving high cycle life at competitive
costs to target the microgrid energy storage market. The project will exploit OXIS Energy's core Lithium Sulfur technology
using a new electrolyte classification to extend cycle life. The University of Southampton will exploit their extensive
knowledge of novel electrochemical test techniques to assess candidate electrolyte formulations and then test their
performance credentials in the laboratory. These new electrolytes will be then scaled up by OXIS and their full performance
characterised in a prototype Li-S battery cells. The project will demonstrate the commercial feasibility of this new
rechargeable battery technology for stationary energy storage. If successful developed this technology will reduce
consumer costs and carbon emissions whilst improving the Uk's energy security by being less reliant on foreign imports of
fossil fuels.
