After announcing a new three-year collaboration with Nissan to advance low-cost, solid-state EV batteries, Gelion’s tech may be the secret to leveling the playing field with China.

Nissan takes aim at China with solid-state EV batteries

Nissan is betting on the breakthrough new battery tech as part of its comeback plan, as the struggling Japanese automaker looks to turn things around.

The three-year project, called Cost-effective, Resilient Solid-state Li-S, is a collaboration between Gelion, Nissan Technical Center Europe (NTCE), and the University of Oxford.

By combining Gelion’s NES (Nano-Encapsulated Sulfur) sulfur-based cathode active material with Nissan’s solid-state battery development capabilities, the project aims to develop the next generation of EV batteries that are safer, more affordable, and longer-lasting.
