Lithium manganese oxide (LMO) batteries are a type of battery that uses MNO2 as a cathode material and show diverse crystallographic structures such as tunnel, layered, and 3D framework, commonly used in power tools, medical devices, and powertrains.
“The higher number of minerals that go into a battery is a good thing,” said Venkat Srinivisan, director of the Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science (ACCESS). As a cathode material, manganese is abundant, safe, and stable. But it has never approached the energy density or life cycle of nickel-rich batteries, Srinivisan cautions.
The incorporation of manganese contributes to the thermal stability of NMC batteries, reducing the risk of overheating during charging and discharging. NMC chemistry allows for variations in the nickel, manganese, and cobalt ratios, providing flexibility to tailor battery characteristics based on specific application requirements.
SweetBunFactory /iStock Japanese researchers at Yokohama National University have demonstrated a promising alternative to nickel and cobalt-based batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). Their approach uses manganese in the anode to create a high-energy density battery that is both cost-effective and sustainable.
In this work, a promising manganese-based lithium-ion battery configuration is demonstrated in which the Mn 3 O 4 anode and the LNMO cathode are applied. The synthesized Mn 3 O 4 anode and LNMO cathode both exhibited relatively stable electrochemical performance in half cell configurations.
Tesla and Volkswagen are among the automakers who see manganese—element No. 25 on the periodic table, situated between chromium and iron—as the latest, alluringly plentiful metal that may make both batteries and EVs affordable enough for mainstream buyers.
The researchers told Interesting Engineering in an email that manganese, when used in other polymorphs, typically shows half the energy density capacity. Previous work using manganese reported a voltage decay in batteries, wherein voltage output dropped over time, reducing the electronic device’s performance.
