Lion & Amplats Lion is a private company that was established in 2019 by Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) and PTM to accelerate the development of next-generation battery technology using platinum and palladium.
Under the sponsored research agreement, research and patent applications are being funded in battery innovations using platinum and palladium to unlock the potential of higher power to weight ratios in new-generation lithium-air and lithium-sulphur battery chemistries. This work may now potentially have application to most commercial lithium batteries.
