2. Batteries (lithium-aluminium)-iron sulfide
The lithium-sulfur couple remains attractive thanks to its high specific energy. Its inherent difficulties have been largely overcome by using a lithium alloy at the anode and a transition metal sulfide at the cathode, the main aim being to have two solid electrodes framing a molten salt. This naturally results in a reduction in specific energy compared with the Li/S pair. Alloys of lithium and aluminum, or silicon, elaborated in the form of a porous solid structure, have proved to be electrochemically reversible negative materials, while among the transition metal sulfides, those of iron, FeS and FeS 2 lead to interesting performances, both technically and in terms of price. The simplest cell is described by the formula :

Legislative framework for batteries and accumulators
This legislative framework essentially concerns the thresholds not to be exceeded for hazardous products, as well as provisions for the disposal of used batteries.
Firstly, it is important to note that the texts refer to "batteries and accumulators". Considerations specific to accumulators have been extracted wherever possible.
1. European standards
...Treatment of hazardous substances
1. Mercury
The obligations imposed by Decree no. 91-1971 of December 29, 1999 have been met. According to the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development, whose representative replied to a written question (July 9, 2003), "The quantity of 12 tonnes of mercury present in batteries in France corresponds to the level at the beginning of the 1990s... As early as 1994, the mass of mercury...

Battery manufacturers (non-exhaustive list)
European battery manufacturers have joined forces to form the EUROBAT association ( http://www.eurobat.org ). The association comprises 37 companies, both regular and associate members, and represents over 85% of the European accumulator industry. The association describes itself as "the unified voice of...
