British company will push solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries, equipped with a new battery system

Introduction: Oxis Energy, headquartered in Oxfordshire, said it will use the same manufacturing process as lithium-ion and traditional lithium-sulfur products to produce the non-flammable equipment sought by the aviation industry. Oxis Energy, a lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery manufacturer based in Oxfordshire, said it will start supplying solid-state systems to customers 'effective immediately' and plan for aerospace, marine, defense, and heavy-duty electric vehicle customers by the end of the fall. The test project is delivered. The promise made in late December of last year will enable the British company to ship its first-generation 'quasi-solid' system, and for the first time commercial production of batteries and battery systems at its plant in Port Talbot (Oxis) in Wales. The manufacturer announced yesterday that in accordance with the agreement reached with the Japanese customer Sanyo Trading Co., Ltd., it will produce a quasi-solid battery with a specific energy of 450Wh/kg and an energy density of 550Wh/l by next summer. As Oxis's plant in JuizdeFora, Brazil is expected to start mass production of solid-state devices in 2023, the manufacturer has reached an agreement with Sanyo to achieve the goals of 550Wh/kg and 700Wh/l in the fall of that year, and plan to achieve them in 2026 600Wh/kg and 900Wh/l. Solid-state equipment does not have the organic, highly flammable electrolyte that exists in traditional lithium-ion (Li-ion) systems. According to observations, this type of electrolyte can cause fires in large-scale applications and become an option for airlines to consider power-driven flights. reason. Oxis CEO HuwHampson Jones quoted in a press release released yesterday by the company: 'Based on our US customer base, we understand that aircraft manufacturers welcome the transition from traditional lithium-S to solid-state. Oxis's lithium- S battery technology is inherently safer than lithium-ion batteries because sulfur can be used as a passivation for lithium metal. As we launch quasi-solid lithium-S batteries in 2021 and 2022, Oxis has perfected the relevant mechanisms to achieve more High level of safety and longevity. In 2020, Oxis successfully powered an all-electric American aircraft, meeting the requirements of customers and the Federal Aviation Administration.' Lithium-sulfur equipment, whether solid or traditional, also benefits from Do not use cobalt, manganese, nickel, and copper in mainstream lithium-ion products, as these will cause global supply problems. Oxis said last year that the Brazilian production base was leased from Mercedes-Benz and is currently in preparation. The professional engineer Nordika Pharmaceutical has started the design of the facility and will complete the project this year. In February last year, Oxis announced that it expected the Brazilian plant to be put into operation this year, but the commissioning date was subsequently postponed to 2023. The British company said in May that the plant would start producing 5 million lithium-S units per year. Battery unit.
