We’re excited to share that OXLiD has now completed the Faraday Battery Challenge (FBC) project following multiple successful achievements including:
- The enhancement of fundamental chemistry in electrodes, separators, electrolytes and related scale-up;
- Filing two new patent families;
- The discovery of novel sulfur cathode composites with exceptionally high charge/discharge capacities beyond 1650 mAh/g and capacity retention; and
- Successful demonstration of 402 Wh/kg in our Advanced Li-S 10 Ah pouch cell.
Part of the UK Research and Innovation Challenge Fund and delivered by Innovate UK, the Faraday Battery Challenge brings together world-leading research, business innovation and scale up of manufacturing to accelerate to develop the latest battery technologies towards a net zero emissions economy.
We are grateful for the Faraday Battery Challenge and the extensive knowledge and capabilities of the UK research community.
We would also like to thank our partners at the University of Nottingham, University College London, William Blythe, Fortescue WAE, Exawatt, Emerson and Renwick, and Infineum UK in helping us lead this project to accelerate the development, scale-up and commercialisation of Advanced lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries.
