Niobium-based materials were first identified as candidates for lithium-ion anode active materials in the 1980’s. With the push for the electrification of high duty cycle applications which often exceed the performance requirements of traditional graphite-based, and lithium-titanate (LTO)-based lithium ion batteries, niobium-based materials are once again gaining attention as the anode material of choice for these applications.
Echion Technologies is leading the development of commercially available and viable niobium anode active materials for lithium ion batteries. Echion’s niobium-based anode material, XNO® delivers lithium-ion battery performance highly suited for industrial applications that demand the highest productivity and lowest total cost of ownership. Powered by XNO® means lithium-ion batteries that can safely fast charge in less than 10 minutes, maintain high energy densities even at low temperatures, and deliver high power across a cycle life of more than 10,000 cycles.
This talk shall cover the unique aspects of niobium-based anode materials in general, as well as covering the commercialisation progress of XNO®, including development, time to market, validation by cell manufacturers, and material production scale up to meet the demands of gigafactories worldwide.
