LITHIUM-SULFUR BATTERY
For EV, eAerospace, and Renewable Storage Applications
The XBM CarbonX Li-S Battery Dramatically Improves EV Battery Driving Range, with a Lower Carbon Footprint and Overall Cost
XBM USA has developed an EV battery based on its transformational CarbonX Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) Battery Technology Platform, with abundant materials made in the US from low-cost domestically sourced industrial byproducts (i.e., sulfur and tannin).
At maturity, the XBM CarbonX™ Li-S Battery will provide double (2X) the energy density (500Wh/kg) at half the levelized cost ($60kWh vs. $120kWh) compared to today’s best EV battery and because of its lower weight is well suited to be used in aerospace and defense applications.
The Business Opportunity: According to a 2023 report by McKinsey & Company, the “lithium-ion battery chain, from mining through recycling, could grow by over 30 percent annually from 2022 to 2030, when it would reach a value of more than $400 billion and a market size of 4.7 TW.”
THE CARBONX™ LI-SULFUR BATTERY CHECKS ALL THE BOXES
