LISSEN is a large scale collaborative project, funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), which aims to identify and develop nanostructured electrode and electrolyte materials to promote practical implementation of the very high energy lithium-sulphur battery.
The project is directed to the definition and testing of a new, lithium metal-free battery configuration based on the use of lithiated silicon as the anode and a nanostructured sulfur-carbon composite as the cathode. Such battery can offer an energy density at least three times higher than that available from the present lithium battery technology, a comparatively long cycle life, a much lower cost (replacement of cobalt-based with a sulfur-based cathode) and a high safety degree (no use of lithium metal).
The leading scientists and the representatives of industry will present their latest results.
