Single crystal cathodes

The battery developments that will allow the long-life cycling of rechargeable batteries include nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and long range Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) , says Blondal.
As covered previously by The Driven, single crystal cathodes are crucial to this.
“In NMC batteries, lithium cycles in and out of the cathode through large clusters of crystals that are prone to side reactions and degradation,” says Blondal.

“Protective coatings can be applied to the surface of the clustered crystals to reduce unwanted reactions but repeated charging damages the coating, as clusters of crystals expand, contract and break apart. Single-crystal cathodes can be formed that are less prone to cracking and with an added coating they can also resist side reactions.”

He explains that this means long-life “million mile batteries” are ideal for more demanding applications like robo-taxis, as well as being better suited to ultra-fast charging.

But, he adds, “making these coated single crystals remains complex and cost prohibitive.”

Perhaps not so much with DPMG....
