Technologies for Advanced LIthium-Sulfur batteries toward Safe and Sustainable Mobility Applications.
WHAT IS THE TALISSMAN PROJECT?
Welcome to the TALISSMAN EU Project – A Horizon Europe research initiative developing sustainable lithium-sulphur batteries for electric mobility. The TALISSMAN EU Project is paving the way for a new generation of batteries that are safer, lighter, and more sustainable.Funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme, TALISSMAN focuses on the design and development of advanced lithium-sulphur battery technologies using abundant, low-impact materials like sulphur.
WHY LITHIUM-SULFUR BATTERIES?
Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulphur cells have the potential to offer higher energy density, lower costs, and a smaller environmental footprint. Through this innovation, TALISSMAN supports Europe’s broader transition to clean energy and transport. The future of batteries should be sustainable, and accessible to all. TALISSMAN is committed to building technologies that serve people, industry, and the planet. Read more about the importance of sulphur here.
IMPACTS
Increased Safety: Solid and quasi-solid electrolytes with strong interface protection reduce fire risk and prevent failures.
Improved Technical Performance: TALISSMAN develops batteries with up to 550 Wh/kg, enabling lighter, high-efficiency energy storage for aerospace and electric mobility.
Superior Cost-Effectiveness: Using low-cost, abundant materials, TALISSMAN targets <€75/kWh by 2030.
Led by CIDETEC Energy Storage, the TALISSMAN EU Project brings together nine leading partners from Spain, France, Germany, and Italy, including Airbus, ARKEMA, Fraunhofer and SAFT. The consortium combines expertise in chemistry, engineering, scale-up, and sustainability, ensuring a multidisciplinary path toward impact. TALISSMAN’s innovations are fully aligned with the European Green Deal, the Strategic Action Plan for Batteries, and the Batt4EU partnership. Through a Safe and Sustainable-by-Design approach, the project integrates environmental responsibility, recyclability, and circular economy principles at every step of the development process. We are building batteries that will help Europe move cleaner, faster, and smarter.
