Gelion plc CEO John Wood talked with Proactive about the company's newly announced three-year collaborative project, Cost-effective, Resilient Solid-state Li–S (CoRe-SoLiS), alongside Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) and the University of Oxford.
The project, which begins in June 2026, has a total value of £3.4 million and is supported by £2.4 million in grant funding from Innovate UK through the Battery Innovation Concept Development Round 1 competition. Gelion's UK subsidiary has been awarded £1.6 million as part of the programme.
Wood explained why the collaboration represents a significant milestone for Gelion's sulfur battery technology ambitions. The project aims to advance solid-state lithium-sulfur battery development for future electric vehicle applications by combining sulfur cathode technology with solid-state battery architectures.
The discussion explored the strategic importance of working with NTCE, Nissan's European vehicle research and development centre, alongside the University of Oxford. Wood also highlighted Gelion's broader network of international collaborations and the company's ongoing work with the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces on nano-encapsulated sulfur technology.
