OXIS Energy has successfully tested its Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery cell prototypes at 471Wh/kg and is confident of achieving 500Wh/kg in the next 12 months. Consistently shipping cells at 400Wh/kg to its clients in Europe, the US and Japan, OXIS is collaborating with major European chemical partners to develop an advanced lithium metal protection mechanism to ensure a significant improvement in the Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) life cycle. OXIS has also successfully developed a standard Li-S battery module that saves production time and cost. It is the key building block for customer batteries and can be utilized in electric buses, electric trucks, aircraft and marine vessels. Its main features are: Lightweight design: less than 20% of the module is non-cell mass ensuring that the high cell gravimetric energy is harnessed at module level; Modular design: easily scaled into larger batteries; Fire-resistant carbon-fiber enclosure: developed with partners for improved safety; Thermal management: […]
