The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has allocated $4.8 million to Gelion Technologies Pty Ltd (Gelion) for a new battery system it hopes can become the new standard for renewables.
The $9.6 million project will see Gelion collaborate with prospective customers to refine and test lithium-sulphur (Li-S) and silicon-sulphur (Si-S) battery products at its Advanced Commercial Prototyping Centre in Sydney, New South Wales.
As per government statement, the high energy density batteries aim to store more energy per unit of weight, which, if successful, will be a boon for EVs and potential electric aircraft.
How Lithium-Sulphur Batteries Work
Lithium-sulphur batteries are a next-generation energy solution addressing challenges posed by traditional lithium-ion batteries, such as overheating, limited lifespans, and reliance on scarce raw materials, explained the U. S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s Advanced Photon Source (APS)....
