Gelion (AIM: GELN), the Anglo-Australian battery innovator, announces an update on its Next-generation (“GEN3”) Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery development.
Building on the announcements made in March and April 2024, Gelion has now successfully developed 1 Ah semi-solid-state Li-S pouch cells with its GEN3 cell technology. The Company’s modelling from these 1 Ah GEN 3 cells predicts that a 10 Ah cell can be expected to deliver energy density greater than 400 Wh/kg.
Gelion’s GEN3 technology uses a unique sulfur cathode material (fabricated using a unique, low energy process carried out at room temperature), water-based cathode processing (non-toxic), and a proprietary liquid electrolyte. The GEN3 platform is based on a specially engineered formulation of commercially available materials in combination with abundant sulfur to demonstrate high energy density and operational temperature capability.
John Wood, CEO of Gelion commented on the development:
“Gelion has assembled a formidable technology base and team to progress its development program towards unlocking the full potential of this important cell chemistry. The GEN3 cell, an evolution of the GEN2, not only retains the high energy density of its predecessor but also offers enhanced functionality. It is designed to surpass the GEN2 in both performance and manufacturability, paving the way for scalable production.”
