Nano’s latest innovative technology enhances the lifespan and safety of NMC batteries by protecting the NMC cathode from the stress of repeated charging.
According to foreign media reports, Canadian technology company Nano One is advancing its latest lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) innovative technology aimed at making high-energy lithium-ion batteries safer and more durable.
Nano One’s Chief Technology Officer Campbell stated that the latest innovative technology enhances the lifespan and safety of NMC batteries by protecting the NMC cathode from the stress of repeated charging.
“We can form a protective coating on individual particles, which is distinctly different from developing other coatings on larger particle clusters. Avoiding the stress of repeated charging prevents large coating clusters from breaking, thus providing additional protection for high nickel NMC batteries.”
Currently, manufacturers and battery companies are actively increasing the nickel content in lithium batteries while reducing cobalt content to enhance battery energy density. However, high nickel batteries still pose some risks in terms of safety and cycle life, and Nano One’s technology aims to mitigate these risks. Nano One has already applied for patent protection related to this coating technology.
“These new materials and coatings have the potential to achieve stable, low-cost, fast-charging, and energy-dense cathode material mass production, making them ideal for electric vehicles and other high energy density applications,” Dr. Campbell said.
This June, Nano One signed a contract worth CAD 550,000 (approximately RMB 2.86 million) with an undisclosed international OEM to develop high specific energy lithium-ion battery manufacturing processes and new cathode materials to improve the stability and lifespan of nickel-rich cathode materials used in electric vehicles.
Previously, Nano One announced it received USD 5 million in funding for the “Advanced Battery Materials Expansion” project, with Pulead Technology and Saint-Gobain also participating in the project. Meanwhile, Nano One revealed that “Volkswagen Group Research Center will join our consortium as a project member.”
