Wood highlights that Gelion has generated its **first commercial revenue**, helping lift total income by **36% to £2.7 million**.\n\nThe performance is in line with expectations and marks a meaningful shift as the global energy-storage specialist moves firmly into its **commercial revenue phase**.\n\n**Key Highlights:**\n\n|   |   |\n| --- | --- |\n| ·      | 4Q Achieved in Coin Cells: Gelion has successfully reached its 4Q areal-capacity target in coin-cell testing, the industry-recognised standard for evaluating advanced battery materials. 4Q is widely recognised as a critical milestone for practical high-energy-density sulfur cathodes. |\n| ·      | Clear Technical Progress Toward Pouch Cells: The coin-cell results provide strong evidence supporting the translation of Gelion’s CAM into large-format pouch-cell electrodes capable of meeting 4Q performance targets. |\n| ·      | Improved Electrode Quality and Consistency: Recent work demonstrates enhanced uniformity, improved adhesion, and reproducible slurry rheology, all compatible with scale-up for larger-format electrodes. |\n| ·      | Enabling Future High Energy Density Targets: This milestone strengthens Gelion’s roadmap toward high-energy-density, low-cost sulfur-based batteries suitable for e-aviation, electric mobility, stationary storage, and other commercial applications. |\n\n** John Wood, CEO of Gelion, commented****:** “Achieving 4Q areal capacity in coin cells marks a major validation of our sulfur cathode platform and represents a key technical milestone for Gelion. In the battery industry, 4Q is widely recognised as an important benchmark for high-energy-density sulfur cathodes, and these results give us strong confidence that our sulfur CAM can progress toward delivering the same performance in pouch-cell formats. As we continue refining electrodes for larger format manufacturing, we are building the technical foundation required for prototype development and industry engagement.”"}
