Dew point hypothesis reveals ultimate conditions for making NMC 811 lithium-ion batteries

Researchers from the UK’s WMG, University of Warwick, have found that dew points of around -45^oC are the best for storing and processing the materials for making high-nickel batteries such as NMC 811.

It is the first time the researchers have given a definite temperature for ensuring the best battery performance in high-nickel cathode materials, which are prone to reactivity and instability when exposed to humidity.
