Ann: Collaboration to Power Electric Trucks with Janus Electric, page-44

Through the introduction of a nano-material called Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNT) into the battery chemistry, Li-S has been able to create lithium-sulphur batteries that retain a much stronger, longer-lasting energy capacity than lithium-ion, while avoiding the significant degradation which has made lithium-sulphur batteries unviable until now.

This could mean mobile phones with a one-week battery, electric vehicles with a 1,000-kilometre range and drones that fly for hours between charges.

“So anywhere that the battery’s weight is being carried by the battery’s energy – such as wanting an EV to drive twice as far, a drone to fly for hours instead of minutes and if you want to make electrical aviation a genuine, commercial possibility you need very lightweight batteries and that’s what lithium sulphur can do,” Li-S CEO Lee Finniear said.

Because old sulphur batteries are so energetic, Finniear said they tend to fail after 50 to 100 discharges and recharges, “kind of like having a great car that goes really far but having to take it back every three months to get a new battery.“We have managed to extend that cycle life to 900 cycles, which really changes the game,” he said.

This announcement comes amid an ever-expanding electric vehicle market, which Finniear said is likely to grow about 10 times in the number of batteries sold by 2030 compared to today.

“We are looking at 100% in growth year on year going forward,” he said.

“The European community have decided it will be illegal to sell a petrol or diesel car after 2035, and that’s only 14 years away and applies to things like heavy vehicles as well.

“14 years is not a long time when you have to develop cars, trucks and everything else to be electrified and get people engaged to adopt the technology early.“It is a massive industry, and everyone is looking for a better battery to improve the performance of their products whether they are cars or drones or planes because lithium-ion doesn’t cut it.”
