Gelion successfully transfers sulfur cathode material technology

(Sharecast News) - Gelion said on Wednesday that it has successfully transferred advanced sulfur cathode active material technology from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces into its own operations, marking a key milestone in the development of its next-generation lithium-sulfur and sodium-sulfur batteries. The AIM-traded battery innovator said fabrication of the material was now underway at its Sydney facility, giving it full in-house capability for production, prototyping and testing.

It said the move was expected to accelerate collaboration with partners by enabling larger-scale trials, faster feedback cycles and broader testing across multiple programmes, materially reducing technical risk and supporting the pathway to commercialisation.

"We are very pleased with the progress that has been achieved here working in collaboration with MPI," said chief executive John Wood.

"There has been exceptional commitment shown, including our research lead spending extended time at MPI to develop understanding and several individuals in our team going well above and beyond to allow for quick progress.

"Gelion is making progress with understanding and releasing the potential of this exceptional technology.

"The increased fabrication capability supports us continuing to step up our internal development activities along with our ability to support ongoing external testing activities."

Gelion said the expanded capacity would help advance its high-energy, high-power and long-life battery technologies towards market adoption.

At 1154 BST, Gelion shares were down 0.83% at 20.33p.
