Develop Lithium-Sulfur Batteries for Large-scale Electrical Energy Storage
Project Member(s): Wang, G.
Funding or Partner Organisation: Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)
Start year: 2014
Summary: Lithium-ion batteries have been well developed and dominate the portable electronics market. However, this technology does not fit large-scale energy storage applications due to high cost, limited service life, and safety concerns. Although metal-air batteries have the highest energy density, they are still far from being practically applicable, due to inability to identify suitable catalysts. The lithium-sulfur battery has the second highest energy density among all rechargeable battery systems. If fully developed, the lithium-sulfur battery system would be the best choice for mega-scale energy storage. Despite many promising potentials, challenges facing the practical development of Li-S batteries are formidable.
