CAMX Power invented GEMX technology to engineer the grain boundaries to overcome problems associated with high-nickel, low-cobalt cathode materials.
CAMX Power and Panasonic Energy Co. (a Panasonic Group Company) announced that Panasonic Energy has taken a license from CAMX to the latest GEMX platform of cathode active material for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.
The GEMX platform is based on fundamental inventions of CAMX for which more than 30 patents have been granted globally, including the US, EU, Korea, Japan, and China.
The GEMX inventions, through molecular engineering, place cobalt, aluminum, etc. at the critical places of the cathode particles resulting in the use of less cobalt, yet with greater stability, higher performance and lower cost for all classes of nickel-based cathode materials including high-manganese. Its derivative products have been branded as gNMC, gNMCA, gNCA, and gLNO.
“Instead of attempting production ourselves, CAMX, through license agreements like these can have its inventions rapidly and more broadly come to market for the benefit of society,” said Sahin, president and founder of CAMX. “Cell costs account for a third of an EV cost and about half the cell cost is the cathode. Having Panasonic Energy add GEMX to its cathode choices is a great privilege for CAMX.”
