Sumitomo Chemical: Development of cobalt-free / LiB positive electrode material – applied to all solid state batteries

Sumitomo Chemical:

Wearing a prospect to commercialization of cobalt-free ternary lithium ion secondary battery (LiB) cathode material.

By suppressing the structure of a single crystal that has not been used in the past, it reduces outgassing.

Furthermore, it is possible to achieve compatibility between safety and high capacity.

Cobalt-free ternary lithium ion secondary battery (LiB) Positive electrode material:

Tanaka Chemical Laboratory: In charge of hydroxide (precursor)

Sumitomo Chemical: In charge of firing process (utilizing inorganic technology)

This positive electrode material also features good compatibility with all solid state batteries.

Samples will be shipped in FY 2019.
