A recent article in npj Materials Sustainability proposed reconstructing life cycle inventories (LCIs) for battery-grade nickel by breaking down current and emerging processing routes. This method ...

Get ready for an accessible EV! GM has hinted at an upcoming affordable, next-gen electric vehicle, confirming it will be built right here in the U.S. Find out what's next.

The experts are studying single-crystal lithium-nickel-manganese oxide, or LMO, cathodes. They describe the component as key to "high-performance batteries," aside from cracking concerns.

TSX-listed Giyani Metals has made the first shipment of high-purity manganese oxide (HPMO) samples, from its demonstration plant in Johannesburg, to multiple potential offtakers for testing and ...

A follow-up experiment showed the method also worked on NMC (nickel, manganese and cobalt) lithium-ion batteries, Gao says.

Turning to nickel, Maheshwari said declining demand from the battery sector arose from a shift to nickel-free batteries. He noted a 19 percent drop in demand for nickel-manganese-cobalt batteries.

Nickel manganese cobalt batteries are the most popular lithium-ion battery chemistry in the electric vehicle industry (outside of China) and have been used in grid-tied storage facilities.

American company GM and its partner LG Energy Solution announced the first details of a new type of battery based on lithium manganese cells.

Ford started their EV offerings with nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) batteries, later adding lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries in 2023.

The automaker's lithium manganese-rich prismatic battery cells reportedly offer a longer lifespan and higher energy density than previous attempts.

GM says LMR batteries are a breakthrough as traditional battery cathodes require nickel, manganese, and expensive cobalt. This drives up prices and makes EVs expensive.
