Next-gen EV batteries driven by Materials innovation - University of British Columbia

Objective/theme

Tellurium Boosted Li-S Batteries for Zero-Emission Vehicles is a PICS project led by the University of British Columbia (UBC) in partnership with the University of Victoria hosted and led PICS, and funded by the Government of British Columbia’s CleanBC Go Electric program through the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation.

Process & benefits

The project is investigating the feasibility of incorporating tellurium (Te)—an industrial by-product of the copper and lead-zinc smelting processing—into solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries.
