Swiss energy solutions company Leclanché has released XN50, the world’s first commercial Li-ion cell with a niobium-based active anode material, the company said in a statement. Delivered by Great Britain Echion TechnologiesThe XNO trademark material enables 50% higher energy density than LTO (lithium titanate or lithium titanium oxide) technologies, fast charging and safety and performance under extreme conditions.
“The XNO materials are based on proprietary mixed niobium oxide compositions and microparticle designs that are protected by multiple international patent families,” Echion explains on its website. “The unique crystal structures of our materials are designed to enable the intercalation of lithium ions with exceptionally fast diffusion coefficients, safe electrochemical potential above SEI formation and minimal volume expansion.”
