2000 km on a Single Charge: Brighsun’s Li-S Batteries to Enter Industrial Trials

Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) Battery Technology Breakthrough

Through nearly 8 years of research, the Brighsun team developed lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries with an energy density 5-8 times higher than conventional secondary batteries. According to results from an internationally accredited testing agency (SGS), Brighsun's new technology allows an Li-S battery to keep 91% of its initial capacity after 1,700 cycles at a rate of 2C (being fully charged/discharged in 30 mins). That means the capacity decay per cycle is as low as 0.01%. Even at a more aggressive rate of 5C (being fully charged/discharged in 12.5 mins), Brighsun's Li-S battery retains 74% of its initial capacity after 1,000 cycles (capacity decay per cycle of 0.026%). The cathode energy density for the 1th cycle after activation at charge rate of 1C is 2103.8Wh/kg.

Driven by the growing markets world-wide for EVs, the battery industry has explored a range of chemical combinations: lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide and, currently, nickel manganese cobalt. However, current battery systems still suffer from the major disadvantages of relatively low energy density, high raw material costs and secondary pollution during recycling.

A Game Changer

Brighsun's advanced Li-S chemistry, offering high energy density and resultant low raw material costs, will be a game changer in the EV industry. Li-S batteries also have the potential to become the most promising energy storage systems for future railways, ships and airlines. Industries such as electric supply grid storage, mobile phones, drones and AI will also benefit from dramatically higher energy density storage provided by Brighsun's new battery system.

Companies in the US, Germany, Korea and China have been developing Li-S batteries and have achieved promising breakthroughs. However, these systems still face a number of challenges, including volume expansion of cathode materials during cycling, the shuttling effect of polysulfides, and the dendritic growth of lithium on the anode. This results in shorter cycling life and poor fast-charging capability, both major obstacles to their application in the world automotive industry.

Brighsun's Revolutionary Approach

Brighsun has patented Li-S battery technology that prevents the generation of polysulfide on the sulfur cathode and effectively suppresses dendritic growth of Li on the anode Li-S, paving the way for Li-S battery use in EVs.

The company has already developed processes for the production of cathode materials (electrolytes, separators and lithium sheet anodes), of which the core materials (anodes, electrolytes, and separators) can be produced in batches. Trial production of high-power cells with an expected energy density in excess of 1,000 Wh/kg is about to begin. Brighsun is also developing a solid-state electrolyte compatible with its Li-S system, aiming at further improvements in the cycling life, energy density and safety of its Li-S batteries.

Plentiful and Low Cost Battery Materials

The main raw materials for Brighsun's Li-S batteries are widely available in Australia, with a supply sufficient for hundreds of years. Indeed, at under AUD100 for 1kWh, the expected production cost of Brighsun-branded 2U Li-S batteries is lower than conventional lithium ion batteries – providing a major boost to the development of electric vehicle and related industries in Australia and around the world.

Going Forward

Brighsun is currently in discussion with potential investors in the large-scale trial production of Li-S batteries. The development process for large-scale production is expected to be finished by end-2020, followed by the mass production of Li-S batteries.

Brighsun's new energy-dense Li-S battery is expected to accelerate EV take-up around the world, spurred by dramatically improved single-charge travel performance, low cost and long life. Combined with the relative simplicity of EV design compared to internal combustion engine/hybrid vehicles, consumers and the industry alike are set to benefit from lower cost, emission-free transport. At the same time, Brighsun's 2U Li-S batteries offer huge benefits to the mobile phone and solar-electric storage industries, generating dramatic performance improvements in both.

TRI-AD Enables Successful Creation of HD Maps for Automated Driving on Surface Roads

TOKYO, Mar 10, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – Toyota Research Institute-Advanced Development, Inc. ("TRI-AD"), Toyota's automated driving software development company, has successfully completed proof of concepts ("PoC") demonstrating high definition ("HD") map building for surface roads with relative accuracy of less than 50 centimeters, a good level that is required for automated driving.

In these PoCs, TRI-AD verified that both following methods are effective for HD map building:

1. Building map information for automated driving via map data derived from the cameras of ordinary vehicles as well as satellite imagery, without the use of conventional means of collecting data such as survey vehicles.

2. Applying vehicle data from TRI-AD's Automated Mapping Platform ("AMP") to other companies' platforms by converting data formats and applying correcting algorithms.

By utilizing the results of these PoCs, it is expected that the delay in updating HD maps for automated driving can be shortened, areas of HD map coverage can be expanded quickly, and costs to build and maintain the HD maps can be substantially reduced.

Summary of PoC results:

Maxar Technologies ("Maxar"), a trusted partner and innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, Japan's leading IT services provider NTT DATA Corporation ("NTT DATA"), and TRI-AD are collaborating on a proof of concept to build automated HD maps for automated vehicles using the highest-resolution commercial satellite imagery since April 25th, 2019. The PoC demonstrates it is now possible to automatically extract the required map information by analyzing and removing and correcting non-map image pixels such as automobiles, shadows, and occlusions due to the inclination of buildings in satellite imagery. Currently, maps with a relative accuracy of 25 centimeters*1 were created within the 23 wards in Tokyo, as well as 6 cities globally, and were verified to be useful for automated driving purposes. (Refer to Image 1, 2 and 3.)

TRI-AD and a leading road intelligence platform, CARMERA Inc. ("CARMERA"), have successfully conducted a camera-based HD mapping initiative. As part of their global partnership, the collaboration used "dashcam" drive recorders to detect and place key road features – such as lane markings, traffic signals and signs – within the 23 wards in Tokyo and 2 cities in the United States. The project achieved a relative accuracy of 40 centimeters*1 for key navigation features – a major advance in camera-only detection. TRI-AD's work with CARMERA used the same hardware-agnostic computer vision and processing technology as CARMERA's Real-Time Events and Change Management engine, which detects, validates and delivers navigation-critical updates to CARMERA's regenerative HD mapping system in minutes rather than months. By using consumer-grade vehicle cameras that are common around the world, TRI-AD and CARMERA showcased a scalable approach to next-generation map making.

TRI-AD also collaborated on a PoC with TomTom International BV. ("TomTom"), a leading independent location technology specialist.

Together, the companies showed that lower-class roads (urban roads), including lane markings necessary for automated driving, could be successfully created or updated in near real-time on TomTom's HD map. The solution was achieved by verifying the reliability of the vehicle data collected by TRI-AD's AMP, and then converting it for input into TomTom's cloud-based transactional mapmaking platform.

TRI-AD has collaborated with a world's leading location data and technology platform, HERE Technologies ("HERE") for this PoC. Correcting the positional errors in the vehicle data collected by TRI-AD, HERE was able to automatically create surface road maps using HERE's advanced "Self-Healing" technology. By using only vehicle sensor data, HERE ingested the data into its platform and automatically generated HD maps including lane level information required for automated driving. HERE's HD Live Map has already been selected to power some of the world's most prestigious OEM's Level 3 automated vehicle programs.

Mandali Khalesi, Vice President of Automated Driving Strategy and Mapping at TRI-AD, said:
"I'm very pleased to announce the results of the PoCs with Maxar and NTT DATA, and CARMERA, and also the results of our new demonstration partners, TomTom and HERE. We got a step closer to a future where automated driving becomes a safer and more accessible technology for all. We will continue to cooperate with partners as we further refine our accuracy."
