Q3 2026 Newsletter

 

Gelion is seeking to replace the critical minerals in current Lithium-ion battery cathode materials with the Company’s Nano-Encapsulated Sulfur (NES™), a material that is low cost and designed to drop-in to existing global manufacturing lines. Gelion’s NES™ is made from sulfur, which is abundant, mining-free, and free from supply chain constraints. 

 

Gelion (LSE: GELN), the sulfur battery technology company, is pleased to publish its Q3 2026 newsletter, marking a period of strong progress for Gelion, with new global automotive collaborations, continued independent validation of NES™ with partners including QinetiQ and National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), and the publication of the 2026 Annual Report, reinforcing the Company’s partnership-led path to commercialisation.
