We have developed a rechargeable aluminum battery that may replace existing storage devices, such as alkaline batteries, which are bad for the environment, and lithium-ion batteries, which occasionally burst into flames. For decades, researchers have tried unsuccessfully to develop a commercially viable aluminum-ion battery.

Umicore and 3M have entered into a technology license agreement that aims at further expanding the use of Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) mixed metal layered oxide cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries in for automotive and portable consumer electronics applications. We are very pleased to have reached this agreement with 3M.

As one of the many approaches under investigation to increase the power density, specific capacity, and cyclic efficiency of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, researchers are seeking to develop higher-capacity anode materials (such as silicon- or tin-based materials).
