Ampcera® LiNbO3 (1 wt%)  coated NMC 811 Cathode Powder, 11-15um D50, Cathode Material, 10g

Product Benefit: LiNbO3 coated NMC 811 (or NCM 811) Cathode Powder provides superior high rate capability of cathode when being used with solid state electrolyte materials.  According to a 2019 paper published by the M. Stanley Whittingham lab, the coating of LiNbO3 on NMC 811 cathode not only supplied a protective surface coating but also optimized the electrochemical behavior of NMC 811 cathode material.
