Engineering researchers from Monash University have formed a new lithium sulphur (Li-S) battery startup, armed with chemistry inspired by an over-the-counter antiseptic and initially targeting drone applications. According to a statement from the university on Tuesday, the team behind Ghove Energy has “overcome one of the last remaining barriers to commercialisation” for the battery type.…
Li-S Energy has successfully completed its first uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) test flights, powered by the company’s twelve cell lithium sulfur battery pack. The flight tests aimed to demonstrate that the company’s LiS cells can be configured into a battery pack, integrated into a fixed wing UAV, and successfully flown for take-off, ascent, level flight,…
Battery manufacturer Li-S Energy has announced that it has proved substantial improvement in energy density for its lithium sulfur battery technology in tests. Li-S said on Monday that it had manufactured full-size 10Ah (amp-hour) semi-solid-state cells at its production facility, with the pouch cells using the company’s GEN3 cell chemistry (announced in April 2023.) According…
Battery technology company Li-S Energy has announced that its GEN3 semi-solid-state lithium sulfur (Li-S) battery cells have successfully passed a series of nail penetration tests with the results exceeding both the civilian and US military performance standards. The company tested its multi-layer semi-solid-state 2.5Ah lithium sulfur cells built on the company’s Phase 2 micro-production line…
