TALISSMAN PROJECT ACHIEVES KEY MILESTONE ON LITHIUM–SULFUR BATTERY CELL DEFINITION

The TALISSMAN project has successfully achieved an important technical milestone with the definition of Lithium–Sulfur Battery (LSB) cell specifications, design requirements, key performance indicators (KPIs), and testing protocols. This milestone represents a major step forward in establishing a common and robust framework for the development and validation of next-generation LSB cells for mobility applications.

Through this achievement, the project has set out a clear and shared definition of the target cell characteristics, including performance, safety, durability and operational requirements aligned with the project’s objectives. In parallel, a comprehensive set of KPIs has been agreed to ensure that future developments can be consistently assessed against well-defined performance and safety benchmarks.

In addition, the milestone includes the establishment of standardised testing protocols covering electrochemical performance, durability and safety aspects. These protocols provide a harmonised basis for evaluating LSB cell behaviour under representative operating conditions and application scenarios, ensuring comparability of results across partners and development phases.

Overall, this milestone lays the technical foundations for the next stages of the TALISSMAN project, enabling structured validation of LSB cell designs and supporting informed decision-making as the project progresses towards high-performance and safe-by-design battery solutions.
