Next-gen range-boosting EV battery cathodes test mettle in race car

Better batteries are the key to more practical, universally embraced electric vehicles, and better cathode chemistry is a one of the key elements in creating better batteries. The race for a better cathode has everyone from national laboratories to Nobel Prize-winning inventors scrambling for just the right mix of materials. UK-headquartered global chemical and sustainable tech company Johnson Matthey has a formula it believes superior, and it’s about to test its eLNO cathode tech in the high-demand laboratory of electric car racing. Should things go well, it will move toward mass production within the next few years, helping to power a new generation of more energy-dense cars with longer ranges. Continue reading
