3S Battery (Super Selective Separators for Battery applications) is a technology convergence research project financed by the Research Council of Norway (No. 342073). The project is coordinated by NTNU with SINTEF and the University of Uppsala as project partners.
The project implementation is based on highly interdisciplinary collaboration between experts in the fields of nanomaterials, membranes and battery technologies. Education and training of competent engineers, especially in battery technology, is also an important part of the project.
Rechargeable lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have a high theoretical energy density five times that of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) and use much less expensive and more abundant materials. However, critical issues in current Li-S batteries deteriorate their capacity retention and rate cyclability, which must be mitigated to realize Li-S battery’s great potential as a low-cost, sustainable, and high-energy density next-generation battery technology.
