Overview
LMO has a spinel structure with good rate and low-temperature performance and low cost. It is commonly used in power tools, two-wheelers and hybrid batteries, and as a blend component in NCM to improve safety and cost.
- Spinel structure
- Capacity 100–120 mAh/g
- High rate and low-temperature performance
Technical data
| Item | Typical value | Control range |
|---|---|---|
| Specific capacity / mAh·g⁻¹ | 100–120 | ≥98 |
| First-cycle efficiency / % | 90–93 | ≥89 |
| Compaction density / g·cm⁻³ | 2.8–3.0 | 2.7–3.1 |
| D50 / µm | 8–15 | 7–16 |
| Moisture / % max | 0.05 | 0.08 |
| Magnetic impurities / ppm max | 0.5 | 1.0 |
Capacity fade of LMO under high-temperature cycling is strongly linked to the electrolyte and surface treatment.
