Gelion plc Partners With Top 15 Automaker for Battery Testing

Gelion plc entered into a Material Transfer Agreement with a top 15 global automotive original equipment manufacturer to evaluate its Nano-Encapsulated Sulfur (NES) cathode technology. The agreement involves the supply of sulfur-based cathode active material, coated cathodes, and liquid electrolyte for testing in both liquid and solid electrolyte configurations.

The evaluation targets pathways for luxury and mass-market electric vehicles utilizing lithium metal and graphitic anodes.
