4. Objectives
Development of a sustainable and advanced lithium sulphur (Li-S) battery for automotive use with the following characteristics:
An energy density of at least 500Wh/kg with a specific power of at least W/kg during normal operation;
Charge efficiency higher than 95% in the entire cycle life in the operating temperature range from -25°C to 80°C;
Durability reflected by a life time requested by automotive industry ( at least 5 years and a cycle life of 1000 cycles within the conditions of deep discharge – full charge);
Meet or exceed safety standards and low costs: i.e. a maximum 150€/kWh;
Protection of European technology.
