$1.6M UK project for next generation of Li-S batteries for marine autonomous systems

Green Car Congress

Li-S cells have five times the theoretical maximum specific energy of Lithium-ion cells. The mass density of Lithium Sulfur cells is very similar to that of water. As a result, bulky and expensive buoyancy foam is not required for the Lithium Sulfur battery as it is with Lithium Polymer batteries in use today.

Lux: VW “actually in a strong position to innovate their way out of this mess”

Green Car Congress

Volkswagen has also invested in next-generation batteries, including lithium-sulfur and solid-state. In part, slow adoption was due to the requirement of installing the urea-containing SCR unit to control NO x emissions in diesel engines, which is expensive. Earlier post.) Earlier post.).
