High-voltage cathode additive for next-generation lithium-ion and NCM/NCA battery research
The Cell Lab Lithium-Rich Lithium Nickel Oxide (LNO) is an advanced cathode additive developed for cutting-edge lithium-ion battery research. Featuring a high discharge potential and pre-lithiated structure, it provides lithium to the anode prior to initial charging, enhancing electrochemical balance and stability. Compatible with ternary cathode systems such as NCM and NCA, LNO supports the development of high-energy-density, long-cycle batteries for next-generation storage applications.
High Discharge Potential: Increases cell voltage output, boosting energy density in experimental lithium-ion systems.
Pre-Lithiated Structure: Supplies active lithium to the anode before formation, reducing initial irreversible capacity loss.
Broad Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with NCM, NCA, and layered oxide cathode formulations.
Research-Grade Purity: Supplied as a fine black-brown powder, ideal for laboratory and pilot-scale research.
Stable Reversible Capacity: Delivers reliable performance for electrochemical evaluation and material optimisation.

Q1: What is the primary function of LNO in lithium-ion batteries?
It serves as a pre-lithiated additive, compensating lithium loss during formation and improving cell balance and initial efficiency.
Q2: Can this additive be used with NCM and NCA materials?
Yes. LNO is fully compatible with both ternary cathode systems for enhanced voltage and capacity performance.
Q3: What is the theoretical capacity of LNO?
It has a theoretical capacity of 486 mAh/g, with a reversible capacity of approximately 90 mAh/g under standard conditions.
Q4: Is the material suitable for solid-state battery applications?
Yes. Its structural stability and pre-lithiated nature make it suitable for solid-state and hybrid cathode systems.
Q5: What precautions should be taken during storage?
Keep sealed under inert atmosphere, away from moisture and direct light, and store below 25 °C for best preservation.
