Protected Anodes for Litium Sulfur Batteries (PALIS)
Lead Participant:
JOHNSON MATTHEY PLC
Abstract
The Protected Anodes for Lithium Sulphur Batteries Project (PALIS) will project will develop an innovative
protected lithium anode component for use in Li-S batteries. The technology will mitigate detrimental side
reactions in the cells, delivering higher performance, high energy density and lower cost Li-S cells for use in
smart grid energy storage applications. The approach also enables replacement of critical metals such as Co/Ni
currently used in Li-ion batteries with lower cost carbon, sulphur and lithium. The consortium of Johnson
Matthey, Oxford University, Ilika Technologies Ltd, Warwick Manufacturing Group and Williams Advanced
Engineering combines skills in novel materials and electrode design, PVD and polymer composite coating, scale
up of electrodes and industrially relevant sized pouch cells, also cell, module, pack testing and system design.
The project will ultimately deliver a module design study, assessing the performance of the new technology
components interlinking performance of project cells with usage patterns/cycles for energy/power in main
market applications in the energy storage sector.
