ORNL develops new hydrothermal synthesis method

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new hydrothermal synthesis method that makes a cobalt-free cathode material (LiNi0.9Mn0.05Al0.05O2, NMA) with more uniform, round, tightly packed particles than is common in today’s cathodes, maintaining more stability throughout a charging cycle. The result is a more affordable battery from a
