01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
OXLiD was an Oxford-based lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery technology developer founded in 2022 by Dr. Adrien Amigues, the former Head of IP at lithium-sulfur company OXIS Energy. It developed and sought to commercialize Li-S batteries for electrified transportation and sustainable energy storage in electric aviation, maritime and electric vehicles, including a lightweight, ultra-thin solid-state separator (SES) to improve cycle life, operating temperature and energy density. Investors included the Faraday Battery Challenge and the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK.

Events in the structured record
- Founded
Adrien Amigues founded OXLiD in Oxford in 2022 to develop lithium-sulfur battery technology.
- Acquired by Gelion
In November 2023 OXLiD was acquired by AIM-listed Anglo-Australian battery innovator Gelion plc, advised on the deal by Penningtons Manches Cooper. Amigues said joining Gelion would let the team develop and commercialize Li-S batteries for mass markets faster; OXLiD became Gelion Europe.
