In response to investor inquiries on an interactive platform, GEM, the world's largest supplier of high-nickel ternary precursors, stated that it began developing cathode materials for solid-state batteries as early as 2019. These products are designed to be compatible with one or more types of solid-state electrolytes, including halides, sulfides, polymers, and oxides.
The company has established technical development pathways and achieved breakthroughs in multiple solid-state battery material systems, including high-nickel, ultra-high-nickel, and lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials. All these product lines have reached commercial-scale production with shipments exceeding the ton level.
In November 2023, GEM signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with GAC Group to jointly build a full life-cycle value chain for new energy. Following this, in April 2024, the two parties established Guangzhou Yiumei Recycling Technology Co., Ltd., a project focused on recycling used power battery materials. This initiative represents a key step in implementing their strategic partnership and advancing the integrated new energy value chain.
