Cathode and Anode Powders for Li-ion Batteries

NEI offers a variety of cathode and anode materials for both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Our battery materials are produced through a scalable and economical solid state synthesis process, which is adaptable to different material compositions and particle morphologies. NEI’s cathode & anode materials are available as both powders and cast electrode sheets (tapes).

Custom & Specialty Materials

Looking for a particular material or composition not listed? NEI can custom produce or modify any lithium anode or cathode material composition of your choice – including oxide, sulfide, and carbon-coated materials. In addition to our standard materials above, NEI manufactures specialty materials for Lithium ion batteries that are not commonly found, such as coated anode and cathode powders or specialty compositions and powder morphologies. We also offer a variety of characterization and cell testing services aimed to help you unlock your potential and get the best performance out of your battery materials.

NEI offers a variety of cathode and anode materials that are suitable for a wide range of applications. NEI also specializes in custom synthesis of lithium-ion cathode, anode and solid electrolyte powders to impart safety, high capacity, long cycle life, high rate and good low temperature performance.

Lithium Titanium Oxide (LTO) Powders »

Lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12) is an electrode material with exceptional electrochemical stability, often used as the anode in lithium-ion batteries for applications that require high rate, long cycle life, and high efficiency. LTO-based batteries are considered safer and have a wider operating temperature range.

Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) Powders »

Lithium Manganate (LiMn2O4) is a cathode material with a spinel structure, which allows the material to be discharged at high rates. LMO-based batteries are most suited for use in high rate applications.

Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (NCA) Powders »

Lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2) is a cathode material that has found relatively widespread commercial use. NCA has high usable discharge capacity (∼200 mAh g−1) and long storage calendar life compared to conventional Co-based oxide cathodes. NCA-based batteries are most suited for use in moderate rate applications that require high energy density.

Lithium Manganese Nickel Oxide (LMNO/Spinel) Powders »

Lithium manganese nickel oxide / spinel (LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4) is an attractive cathode candidate for next generation lithium-ion batteries, as it offers high power capability with an operating voltage of ∼4.7 V and a capacity of ∼135 mA h g−1. Due to its high potential, LMNO-based batteries have a higher energy density compared to lithium cobalt oxide and lithium iron phosphate and are used in high rate applications.
