Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) Tapes

Cathode Electrode Sheets for Lithium-ion Batteries

Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNi_xMn_yCo_1-x-yO₂), commonly referred to as “NMC,” is a layered mixed-metal oxide that has become the industry standard for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. By varying the ratios of nickel, manganese, and cobalt, the electrochemical properties can be tuned to meet specific application requirements.

While manganese provides structural stability and cobalt enhances rate capability, nickel is the primary driver of discharge capacity. Our product line tracks the industry’s evolution toward higher energy density, offering everything from the balanced NMC111 to the latest “High-Nickel” innovations.

As the battery industry moves toward longer range and lower costs, high-nickel formulations are essential. Increasing the nickel content allows for higher lithium-ion extraction, significantly boosting specific energy. We are proud to support this transition with our latest advanced composition:

NMC926: Our newest, ultra-high nickel cathode composition, designed for next-generation R&D requiring maximum energy density and reduced cobalt dependency.

NANOMYTE® NMC Electrode Sheets

NEI offers six distinct variations of Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide: BE-50E (NMC111), BE-52E (NMC532), BE-54E (NMC622), BE-56E (NMC811), BE-58E (NMC85), and BE-90E (NMC926). Our NMC materials are also available in powder form.

Standard electrode sheets are 5 inches x 10 inches (127 mm x 254 mm) and cast either single-sided or double-sided on 16 µm thick aluminum foil current collectors. NEI also offers customization options, such as different active material loadings, electrode composition, binder type, current collector, and more.

Product Safety Information:

Not Classified. In its manufactured and shipped form, it does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to humans or the environment.

NOTE: This product contains Nickel and Cobalt compounds which are classified as carcinogens and sensitizers. In the manufactured form (coated sheet), these components are bound within a polymer matrix and are not bio-available. However, any process that destroys this matrix (e.g., shredding, grinding, or burning) may release hazardous dust or fumes. Persons already sensitized to Nickel or Cobalt should handle this product with caution.

Precautions for Safe Handling
Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used at all times. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Handle in a dry and well-ventilated area. Avoid actions that abrade, sand, or grind the coated surface. Such actions can release respirable dust containing Nickel and Cobalt. Personnel with known allergies to Nickel or Cobalt should exercise extreme caution. Even though the material is bound, trace surface dust may be present. Wash hands thoroughly after handling electrode materials, even if gloves were worn.

Conditions for Safe Storage
Store in a dry and well-ventilated place. Avoid moisture (humidity). Store sheets flat to prevent flaking or delamination of the coating from the foil substrate.

Custom Options

Customization Options

Don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all solution! NEI understands that your battery development needs are unique. That’s why we offer extensive customization options for our cathode and anode electrode sheets. For a nominal fee, our electrodes can be custom tailored to your specification, such as:

Active Material Loading: specify the active loading (mg/cm2) per side
Areal Capacity: specify the desired areal capacity of the electrode (mAh/cm2) per side
Electrode Composition: modify the ratio of active material, conductive carbon, and binder
Binder Type & Content: aqueous/non-aqueous
Current Collector: Aluminum, copper, carbon paper, graphite foil, titanium, or stainless steel
Sheet Size: the sheet size can be modified from our standard 5″ x 10″ sheets
Uncoated Tab Areas: specify the uncoated areas along the length of one or both sides of the sheet

Current Collector Options

While focus is typically placed on the performance of the ‘active’ material, the current collector plays an essential role in electrode functionality. It must remain chemically stable—resisting corrosion and unwanted surface reactions—while ensuring the electrode remains well-adhered through thousands of charge-discharge cycles.

As non-traditional materials and aqueous electrolytes become more prevalent, standard copper and aluminum foils are not always sufficient. Depending on your specific application and active material, substrates such as carbon paper, graphite foil, titanium, or stainless steel may be required. NEI Corporation has developed specialized processes to deposit active materials on a wide variety of alternative current collectors, allowing you to customize your electrodes for optimal performance.

With NEI’s customizable electrode tapes, you have the power to create the perfect lithium-ion battery solution for your unique needs.

*NEI’s spec tolerance is ± 5%; some customization options are subject to availability and will increase the lead time.
