Sion Power Corporation and BASF SE are collaborating to accelerate the commercialization of Sion Power’s proprietary lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery technology for the electric vehicle (EV) market and other high-energy applications.

The collaboration is focusing on development of battery materials to improve Li-S battery life, increase the energy density, and thus extend the driving range of EVs beyond what is currently available with alternative rechargeable battery technologies.
