Recently, European automaker Stellantis Group announced that it has invested in Lyten, a start-up battery materials company in the United States, to promote the development of lithium-sulfur electric vehicle batteries, lightweight composite materials, and in vehicle sensing solutions.
The two companies stated in their statements that unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, Lyten's lithium-sulfur batteries do not use nickel, cobalt, or manganese, resulting in a carbon footprint 60% lower than current batteries.
In addition, the raw materials for lithium-sulfur batteries may be purchased and produced locally in North America or Europe.
