This is the highest nickel content ever achieved in a lithium-ion battery cathode material, and it represents a significant breakthrough for Samsung SDI Co. The new cathode material has a number of advantages over traditional cathode materials, including a higher energy density and improved safety. Samsung SDI Co plans to begin commercial production of the new cathode material in 2024.
