Lyten introduces next generation Lithium-Sulfur battery for EVs; 3X energy density of Li-ion

Green Car Congress

Lyten , an advanced materials company, introduced its LytCell EV lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery platform. The technology is optimized for the electric vehicle market and is designed to deliver three times (3X) the gravimetric energy density of conventional lithium-ion batteries. Faster charge times of less than 20 minutes.

Argonne team uses redox-active interlayer to advance high-energy Li-S batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have advanced lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery research by creating a redox-active interlayer within the battery that adds energy storage capacity while nearly eliminating a traditional problem with sulfur batteries. —Lee et al. It also does not adequately reduce shuttling.
