CRADA with Chemetals and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNL-051): Development of Mixed Oxides for Electronic Device Applications
- PNNL
The purpose of this project is to develop lithiated metal oxides by the glycine-nitrate process for use in secondary batteries. Lithiated manganese oxides are expected to be used in future production of lithium ion systems, now commercially available with a cobalt cathode, and the lithium polymer system, which is becoming commercially available with a vanadium oxide cathode. The lithiated manganese cathodes are expected to have price advantages, due to lower cost, larger supply, and lower toxicity of manganese as compared to cobalt and vanadium. The lithium polymer system is expected to be used as a power source for electric vehicles later in this decade. The glycine-nitrate process is a combustion synthesis technique that is particularly well-suited to producing high-quality, active, mixed inorganic oxides at relatively low cost. The glycine-nitrate process was developed and patented on previous DOE sponsored projects.
