"energy density of 560 Wh/kg... well beyond the significant 500-Wh/kg bench mark... initial storage capacity of 214 mAh/g in the cathode material and retaining 88 percent of that across 1,000 cycles."

"Johnson Matthey describes its eLNO (lithium-nickel-oxide) cathode technology as a layered, nickel-rich oxide structure that increases energy density by roughly 20 percent when compared with current-generation cathode formulas, such as NMC 622 (60 percent nickel/20 percent manganese/20 percent cobalt). JM relies on a proprietary stabilizer and surface modification to prevent the instability that plagues other nickel-rich, low-cobalt cathode formulations, ensure a long lifecycle" See also: Scientists discover new approach to stabilize cathode materials https://phys.org/news/2021-06-scientists-approach-stabilize-cathode-materials.html
