Gelion PLC (AIM:GELN, OTC:GELNF, FRA:X0S), the sulfur battery technology company, has completed a government-backed programme in which its cathode material passed independent drone mission testing carried out by QinetiQ Group PLC (LSE:QQ.). The cells, built and evaluated by the UK defence,...

Gelion PLC (AIM:GELN, OTC:GELNF, FRA:X0S) CEO Matthew Wood spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the successful completion of drone mission testing with QinetiQ, highlighting the performance of Gelion's nano-encapsulated sulfur (NES) cathode material in lithium-sulfur cells. QinetiQ independently built and tested pouch cells using Gelion's NES cathode paired with lithium metal anodes, as part of the Advanced Route to Market Demonstrator 4 (ARMD4) programme funded by the UK's Advanced Propulsion Centre. The cells completed representative drone mission simulations, including repeated vertical take-off and landing events requiring extremely high-power discharge, plus cruising conditions demanding continuous stable performance. Wood said there was no evidence of polysulfide shuttle behaviour, with NES-containing cells performing almost identically at cycle 50 as at cycle one despite repeated aggressive missions: "These results demonstrate that lithium sulfur cells containing our NES cathode material can deliver the stable cycling and strong high power performance that is required by drone mission profiles and, importantly, can do so durably." Wood pointed to relevance beyond defence drones, including other defence applications, commercial drones and lightweight, high-power uses where energy density and weight matter. He also highlighted stable operation over 200 cycles at a 1C discharge - representative of EV power requirements - supporting NES's case for automotive applications.

Gelion PLC (AIM:GELN, OTC:GELNF, FRA:X0S) CEO Matthew Wood spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's newly announced funded development and scale-up agreement with Mitsui Kinzoku, and how it fits into Gelion's wider strategy for its Nano-Encapsulated Sulfur (NES) cathode technology. Mitsui Kinzoku, a leading Japanese supplier of metals and engineered materials with an established position in advanced battery materials, will work with Gelion to validate its sulfur-based NES cathode material in both liquid and solid-state battery cells. The agreement includes £2 million of non-dilutive funding, structured as stage payments tied to milestones. Wood said this doesn't represent sales revenue, but payments would be recognised as commercial revenue from FY27 onwards. It also gives Mitsui Kinzoku an option to negotiate manufacturing and distribution rights for Gelion's NES material in certain Asian territories, with terms still to be agreed. "This agreement adds a major global tier one battery materials manufacturer to our partner network," Wood said, adding that while Gelion still has milestones to meet, the deal marks a pathway towards commercial-scale NES production. Wood said the Mitsui Kinzoku tie-up complements Gelion's other recent activity, including IP arrangements with the Max Planck Institute, programmes with TDK, Kinetic and Nissan, and its US entry via an agreement with the National Lab of the Rockies. Looking ahead, he said Gelion remains focused on delivering across its partnerships, with further news flow expected. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more interviews and videos.
