About HELIS- High Energy Lithium Sulphur Cells & Batteries

The commercialization of post-Li-ion battery technology has one of its most viable candidates to be the Lithium Sulphur battery, which stores a highly theoretical energy density to enable cost-effective factors for better electricity supply to the different appliances. Several issues still linger in the area to an extent where resolutions might be extremely time-consuming. To provide lithium-sulfur batteries the right push to act as technological development is the goal every electronic-based group works towards. The conventions need to be broken in this case if high efficiency has to be achieved.

It is the formation of dendrites and the instability of the lithium metal in certain electrolytes that lead to multiple difficulties in the seamless functioning of most batteries. The constant increase of inner resistance and safety problems may turn out to be the main challenges the circuits face. We need to pay closer attention to the downsides of developing such ideas in order to find the perfect solution to such issues. HELIS is a project focusing on improving the overall performance of lithium-based batteries. Let us look at more details of the project.

The Solution for a Generation

Many of the safety issues can be ruled out by the stabilization of the lithium metal. One of the most important parameters for the volume expansion adjustment and electrolyte accommodation is the engineering aspect of the cathode composite within the stabilized interface layers. The practical applications of a lithium-sulfur battery are determined by the aging mechanism of the technology used.

The HELIS project addresses the main issues with the engineering of the complete cell, further helping us solve the conundrums regarding the implementation of the various cells into commercial products. A study on the effects of this battery takes the current generation of engineers on a new wave of developments for greater feats in the realm of electronics. This system of electrodes is established by the team through collaboration with experts from countries such as Sweden, France, Slovenia, Spain, Finland, Israel, and Germany.

Ten work packages form this whole project to be divided into three major activities, including the management, dissemination, and coordination of the batteries. This three-stage process is then followed by the development, testing, modeling, and scaling up of the raw and advances materials used in the lithium-sulfur cells. Every battery generated in this project is checked for the aging pattern to understand the cell pack characterization. Safety and recycling of these products are also considered while testing these batteries for their efficiency.

The Battery Project

By the end of May 2019, around three prototypes of lithium sulfur cells were generated, also closing the project for its further study and approval. Each cell produced has certain improvements that included the development of materials used at various stages. Multiple analytical techniques were used in this study to provide all the materials with the required characteristics for a favorable electrolyte composition.
