The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $5,590,448 Cooperative Agreement to Lyten, Inc. to develop long-life lithium-sulfur batteries for future electric vehicles under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) program. The objective is to create a lithium-sulfur cell with advanced sulfur cathodes using 3-dimensional graphene-sulfur composites that can achieve over 1,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge and a specific energy of over 250 Wh/kg, enabling cost-effective manufacture for electric vehicles and heavy-duty electric trucks utilizing a North American supply chain. The project aims to advance lithium-sulfur battery technologies to support the country's transition to a more sustainable and energy-efficient transportation future.
