BOSTON, April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Whilst relatively light on technical content, an interesting point during Volkswagen s recent Power Day referred to their long-term strategy of employing high-manganese cathodes for their volume segment – a prominent role for a chemistry not currently in widespread use. Improvements to energy density are unlikely using high-manganese cathodes, with motivation for developing these materials instead stemming from a desire to reduce cost and eliminate cobalt consumption. But what does high-manganese refer to, and how do they compare to other cathode materials?
