Abstract :
EUROLIS is a European project started in October 2012 aimed at sustainable and advanced lithium sulphur (Li-S) batteries for automotive use with highly improved energy densities compared to today´s Li-ion (LiB) technology. The combination of the promises of a Li-S battery based energy storage and the inexpensive and abundant materials used in the concept makes this research strategically valuable for Europe. Here we outline the basics of the Li-S battery concept, the main goals of EUROLiS and the partners involved, and how we aim to achieve the main goals.
