6K, the world’s leading developer of microwave plasma technology for the production of advanced materials through its recently launched 6K Energy division, today announced that it has developed NMC 811 at 1-3 microns as well as the capability to produce single crystal NMC. The ability to dial in smaller size ranges, desired in the industry but challenging to do with conventional methods, enables customers to improve charge time, extend run time and improve power. 6K has received strong customer pull at all levels of the supply chain for a cost effective solution for small particle high Ni cathodes such as NMC 811. Low cost sources of these materials are sorely needed to maximize the energy density of EV batteries via bimodal size distributions, and to improve power in portable power applications. Moreover, 6K has demonstrated the ability to use the UniMelt platform to produce single crystal NMC without the multiple additional material- and energy-intensive steps required using standard methods. This could have major implications for the cycle life and safety of future NMC-based EV products, allowing for smaller, lower cost packs without giving up vehicle range.
