Nanjing researchers design new Li-rich layered cathode

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Nanjing University (China) have introduced a new layered C2/m oxide—Li 2 Ni 0.2 Compared with Li 2 MnO 3 (LMO), LNMR displays superior capacity, a more stable capacity retention rate, higher energy density and average discharge voltage. In such materials, 1/3 of the TM sites are occupied by Li phase.

PNNL: single-crystal nickel-rich cathode holds promise for next-generation Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) report new findings about how to make a single-crystal, nickel-rich cathode hardier and more efficient. We observe reversible planar gliding and microcracking along the (003) plane in a single-crystalline Ni-rich cathode. —Bi et al.

IDTechEx comments on Volkswagen’s long-term, high-manganese cathode strategy

Green Car Congress

Improvements to energy density are unlikely using high-manganese cathodes, with motivation for developing these materials instead stemming from a desire to reduce cost and eliminate cobalt consumption, the company added. Comparison between NMC 811 and three high-manganese cathodes (LMFP, Li-Mn-rich, LNMO). Source: IDTechEx.
