London and Kinshasa, November 24, 2021 – The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) can leverage its abundant cobalt resources and hydroelectric power to become a low-cost and low-emissions producer of lithium-ion battery cathode precursor materials.
“As substantiated by the BloombergNEF report, the prospect of the expanding the value chain of development of lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles value chains to DRC and Africa is both financially and environmentally appealing,” commented Dr. Sidi Ould Tah, Director General of the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA).
Implementing manganese-based electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) faces several challenges due to the low grade of manganese ore, which necessitates multiple purification and transformation steps before acquiring battery-grade electrode materials, increasing costs.
The cathode material encounters rapid voltage decline, poor rate and during the electrochemical cycling. A series of problems that hinder the commercial application of lithium-rich manganese base cathode material in energy storage area.
Electrochemical charging mechanism of Lithium-rich manganese-base lithium-ion batteries cathodes has often been split into two stages: below 4.45 V and over 4.45 V , lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials of first charge/discharge graphs and the differential plots of capacitance against voltage in Fig. 3 a and b .
For instance, Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) represents one of the most promising electrode materials due to its high theoretical capacity (148 mAh·g –1) and operating voltage, thus achieving high energy and power density properties .
