Stabilized Cobalt-Fee Lithium-Rich Cathode Materials; Using Process Innovation to Create a Safe and Practical Next Generation Battery Material.

This talk will cover exciting new results from Stratus Materials showing the performance of our next generation of cathode active materials. We will show how enhanced processing innovations result in materials approaching or exceeding 1000 Wh/kg at a materials level that have excellent performance in a range of use cases. Specifically, data showing that this material is stable in full cells for well over 1000 cycles will be disclosed. Other key metrics such as rate capability, fast charge capability, and manufacturability, and performance in thick-format electrodes will also be discussed. We will also explore the pack-level advantages of using this material using both safety and techno-economic assessments; pack-level energy densities that far exceed those of packs that use LFP and NMC cells are possible due to the energy densities and thermal performance attributes attained. Data from cells up to 20Ah in size will be shared.
