High
quality cathode materials are the key factors affecting
the performance of cells. E-One Moli Energy’s 20s
product selections compose of the following three
types of cathode materials - Lithium cobalt dioxide
(LiCoO2)、Lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4 - spinel)
and NMC. The applications include laptop computers,
3C electric products, power tools, electric bicycles & electric
vehicles.
Energy
cell（LiCoO2）
LiCoO2 is the most popular and standardized cathode material. The energy cells which are made up of the LiCoO2 have the high capacity and long-term storage, and are primarily used in products with multi-cell applications, such as notebook computers, high-end electronic devices, networking products and consumer electronic products.
Characteristics
Energy cells

3.
Workable
in wide rang of temperature and has good
cycle life in wide range of temperature
E-One Moli Energy was the first company to introduce the Li-Ion cell (power cell) in the construction-grade cordless power tool market. It was a revolutionary break through in the power tool world. With spinel LiMn2O4 chemistry, high-power cells have longer run time, lighter weight, and more power, and have gradually replaced standard NiCd cells. Most importantly, in multi-cell applications, these cells have higher safety and stability, which is especially suitable for power tools and electric vehicles.

4.
More stable
power delivery curve over the life of the charge
NMC is composed of LiNi, Mn, Co , and O2; its capacity is close to LiCoO2, and it is also suitable for power cell design. E-One Moli Energy offers IHR and IBX product lines, targeting computer UPS, Networking Server UPS, Medical UPS, electric bike, LEV, HEV and power tool markets.
Characteristics
High-rate cells
1.
Higher
operating voltage (3.8V), compatible with current
lithium-ion cells
Workable in wide rang of
temperature and good cycle life
4.
Thermal
stability (DSC) is better than that of LiCoO2.
5.
Performance at 45°C is better
than that at room temperature (25°C).
High-rate
cell（LiFePO4）
Curretly,
E-One Moli Energy has the LiFePO4 cells for
2nd generation. The electrode cathode has low
operating vlotage (3.2V) and excellent cycle
life, which are good for new design applicaion.
