CIDETEC’s LiS Lab is dedicated to the development of lithium–sulfur batteries, a technology with significant potential for high energy density. The laboratory is equipped for the safe handling of metallic lithium and its integration with sulfur-based cathode materials and their derivatives.

The laboratory enables the fabrication of experimental cells and the investigation of dissolution processes, polysulfide migration, and methods for improving cycling efficiency.

Equipment

• Mixing systems for cathode materials (sulfur and carbon–sulfur composites)
• Equipment for handling metallic lithium in an inert atmosphere
• Specialized coin-cell assembly stations for lithium–sulfur batteries
• Equipment for characterizing coulombic efficiency and shuttle effects
• Electrochemical modeling software
• Integration with the battery testing laboratory and glove boxes

• Development of optimized cathode formulations
• Assembly of experimental cells for material evaluation
• Studies of degradation mechanisms and cycle-life improvement
• Validation of new compatible separators and electrolytes
• Support for research projects involving emerging technologies
• Services for European lithium–sulfur research consortia
