OXIS Energy's cell-powered lithium-sulfur battery-powered electric boat comes on the heels of the successful flight of an electric plane .
High energy density in batteries (or lower battery weight, however you think of it) is critical for both electric airplanes and boats , and the chemistry of OXYS' lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries Energy is a leading technology.
What are lithium sulfur batteries?
Lithium sulfur batteries are a type of rechargeable battery (Li-S battery) which stand out due to high specific energy.
The modera Caseno Email List te atomic weight of sulfur and the low atomic weight of lithium make these types of batteries relatively light, about the same density as water.
They have been used for unmanned solar aircraft flights with higher time and altitude projections. In fact, the combination of both components can cause lithium-ion cells to be displaced or replaced due to their higher energy density and minimal cost.
This is due to the use of sulfur to replace cobalt, which is a common element in lithium-ion batteries.
The specific energies offered by Li-S batteries are in the order of Wh/kg, however, lithium-ion batteries are in the range of - Wh/kg.
What are lithium-sulfur batteries used for?
Lithium-sulfur cells are already used in devices that require lightweight batteries and can operate for a long time on a single charge, such as drones or satellites.
Lithium-sulfur batteries are high on the wish list for future batteries, as they are made from cheaper and more environmentally friendly materials than lithium-ion batteries. They also have a higher energy storage capacity and work well at much lower temperatures. However, they suffer from short lifespans and loss of energy.
Electric aircraft powered by OXIS lithium sulfur batteries
A few months ago, in August, OXIS successfully powered the first electric aircraft built in the United States with a flight time of just under two hours, approved by NASA and the Federal Aviation Authority.
Now, Singapore's Yachts de Luxe (YdL) has signed a ten-year worldwide commercial contract with the UK company to build the world's first luxury boat powered by lithium sulfur battery cells.
OXIS will work with YdL and renowned naval architect and multi-hull designer Jean Jacques Coste to realize a new -foot luxury boat. It will carry a kWh battery system of ultralight, high-power cells and a battery management system (BMS). The goal is to achieve a range between and nautical miles at cruising speed.
Williams Formula E award winners are part of the team
Williams Advanced Engineering will work on the design and manufacturing of the cell modules (battery 'packs' – the cells are the individual battery units), the BMS and the installation of the system. Williams, also based in the UK, won the Queen's Award for Enterprise in Innovation in for designing, developing and delivering the batteries for all the cars competing in the FIA Formula E electric car championship.
Huw Hampson-Jones, CEO of OXIS Energy, said: “This collaboration is a great example of how entrepreneurial companies can use their expertise and move quickly to implement new cutting-edge technology, bringing about a paradigm shift in the maritime sector. . transport".
The lithium sulfur batteries developed by OXIS Energy have a power density (technically called "high gravimetric energy density") of watt hours per kilogram. That means more power can be packed into a lighter battery. Li-S batteries have been around since the s, but the “magic sauce” of OXIS is that they have overcome the lifespan and safety drawbacks. The battery cells come in a pouch format, and Oxis has subjected them to puncture and bullet tests proving their safety.
