Nissan starts developing all-solid-state battery cheaper than China\'s, using sulfur-based materials to cut costs
Nissan is moving to secure price competitiveness for all-solid-state batteries, a key next-generation EV technology, by using sulfur-based materials instead of costly nickel and cobalt. The company is launching a three-year project with UK battery firm Gelion, Nissan Technical Centre Europe and the University of Oxford to develop cost-effective solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries. The project totals about 3.4 million pounds, with Gelion receiving 2.4 million pounds in UK government support.
