Platinum Group affiliate Lion Battery Technologies advances platinum, palladium lithium-sulfur cells to pilot-scale pouch prototypes
  • Platinum Group Metals’ majority-owned Lion Battery Technologies completed first-phase independent testing for its platinum- and palladium-based lithium-sulfur cells.
  • Battery Innovation Center testing validated Lion’s electrode design; platinum group metal catalysts lifted capacity and rate capability versus non-catalyzed cells.
  • Palladium-rich formulations delivered the strongest overall results, supporting a move toward pilot-scale manufacturing.
  • Next stage targets commercial pouch-cell prototypes in multiple configurations, with initial performance work aimed at high-energy drone applications.
  • Lion, founded in 2019, is 52% owned by Platinum Group Metals and 48% by Valterra Platinum.
