On June 9, GEM disclosed that it has signed a cooperation agreement to jointly establish a joint laboratory for solid-state battery cathode materials and to conduct collaborative research on key technologies for the industrialization of solid-state lithium battery cathode materials. GEM plans to invest a total of 30 million yuan into the joint laboratory over five years. Of this amount, 20 million yuan will be used for the construction and operation of the joint laboratory, while the remaining 10 million yuan will be allocated for the pilot-scale conversion of laboratory technologies once they mature. The funds for the joint laboratory will be managed under a separate account at Ningbo Eastern University of Technology, earmarked exclusively for research and development activities within the joint laboratory.

Nissan Begins Solid-State Battery Development, Aims to Reduce Costs with Sulfur-based Materials

According to EV media outlet Electrek on June 4 local time, Nissan is launching a project to develop “Cost-effective, Resilient Solid-state Li-S” batteries together with UK battery company Gelion, Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) and the University of Oxford. The project will run for three years, with a total budget of around GBP 3.4 million, or about USD 4.5 million. Of this, Gelion will receive around GBP 2.4 million, or about USD 3.2 million, in UK government funding. The key focus of the project is the development of solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries using sulfur-based cathode materials.
