Ampere and Stratus Materials to Develop Cobalt-Free Cathode Technology

Ampere and Stratus Materials to develop cobalt-free cathode technology

Renault’s electric Ampere division and Stratus Materials have closed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA). The aim is to use cobalt-free battery technology in the next generation of electric vehicles. This so-called LXMO technology offers an energy density comparable to that of NMC (Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt) batteries at a lower price, similar to that of LFP (Lithium-Iron-Phosphate) batteries. LXMO has been developed by Stratus Materials Inc., a l…

Ampere partners with Stratus Materials to develop cobalt-free battery technology

Ampere, the EV and Software pure player from Renault Group has entered into a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Stratus Materials, a developer of high energy cobalt-free LXMO (Lithium X Manganese Oxide) cathode active materials (CAM) for advanced Li-Ion batteries.This JDA represents the first step to evaluate the relevance of inserting Stratus Material’s high energy cobalt-free LXMO into the Renault Group’s electric vehicle fleet and focuse…
