Li-ion cathode material evolution<br />

30<br />
Lithium cobaltite (LiCoO2) dominated<br />
first decade of Li-ion technology<br />
Mixed compounds as NMC<br />
introduced since 2005<br />
•<br />
•<br />
NMC compounds reduce<br />
cobalt use; first enters<br />
low-mid end of the market<br />
e.g. Cellcore MX ®<br />
