Lyten Launches Lithium-Sulfur Battery Platform.
Lyten, an advanced materials company, is disrupting the electric vehicle battery industry with the introduction of its LytCell EV™ lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery platform.
This latest Silicon Valley battery innovation is optimized specifically for the electric vehicle (EV) market and is designed to deliver three times (3X) the gravimetric energy density of conventional lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.
Lyten, as it exits from stealth mode, has worked closely with the U.S. Government for several years to test and improve LytCell™ capabilities in select defense-related applications and is now ready to introduce its battery technology platform to the electric vehicle market.
The Lyten 3D Graphene®-based Li-S architecture has the potential to reach a gravimetric energy density of 900 Wh/kg, which will significantly outperform both conventional lithium-ion and solid state batteries.
Lyten Sulfur Caging™ is the technology used in LytCell™ batteries to unlock the performance potential of sulfur by arresting the ‘poly-sulfide shuttle’, a cycle-life compromising factor that has up to now prevented practical Li-S use in battery electric vehicles. Under DOD test protocols, a LytCell™ prototype design has demonstrated greater than 1,400 cycles.
Dan Cook, CEO and a Co-Founder of Lyten.
We have begun a generational transformation from internal combustion engines to BEV’s. We’re confident that Lyten’s breakthrough battery platform will accelerate the mass consumer adoption of electric vehicle ownership due to the performance, range, and safety improvements of our LytCell EV™ batteries.
“By also delivering the most environmentally responsible battery with a USMCA-compliant supply chain, we believe Lyten will enable automakers to more confidently execute their announced electrification roadmaps.”
Highlights:
- Lyten Introduces Next Generation Lithium-Sulfur Battery for Electric Vehicles
- Company’s proprietary platform of advanced materials will enable a safer EV battery with higher gravimetric energy density than conventional lithium-ion and solid state technologies
