US firm 3M and LG Chem have joined forces to expand the use of nickel, cobalt, manganese (NCM) in lithium-ion batteries.
The new patent licence agreement aims to accelerate the adoption of NCM technology in electric vehicles, said 3M Electronics Materials Division business manager Christian Milker.
NCM cathode materials can be tailored through changes in composition and morphology for applications from handheld consumer electronics to electric vehicles.
