Everyone interested in batteries knows the most famous materials of "lithium-ion batteries": lithium, cobalt, graphite. But in which battery is nickel, manganese, aluminum, iron and phosphorus? Answer: Also in the lithium-ion battery! Just not in every one.
What is the difference between "nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide" (NMC), "nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide (NCA)" and "lithium-iron phosphate" LFP)?
There are fundamental differences between lithium-ion batteries currently installed in e-cars, laptops, cell phones, home storage, drills, toothbrushes, hearing aids and consumer batteries. In this episode, our guest, Prof. Dr. Maximilian Fichtner, explains the properties of the different cathode materials and which combination is likely to be in high demand in the future.
