The cathode is the most expensive component of a lithium-ion battery cell, and its electrochemical performance and production methods are critical to optimizing the battery’s overall cost structure. Nickel-based cathode materials, such as NMC, are an excellent compromise between cost, performance, and safety for electric vehicle and energy storage applications. However, their production is complicated and generates large quantities of waste.
NOVONIX has recently introduced a new patented method to synthesize NMC powders in a completely dry state. This process, called all-dry, zero-waste synthesis, produces single-crystal NMC powders showing competitive performance relative to conventionally produced NMC. In this presentation, an examination of NOVONIX NMC will be given highlighting performance along with potential cost and environmental advantages of this new process technology.
