Cathode Active Materials

Cathode Active Materials (CAMs) are crucial components in the cathode of a battery, particularly in lithium-ion batteries. These materials undergo electrochemical reactions that enable the storage and release of electrical energy. The choice of CAM significantly impacts the battery's performance, energy density, cycle life, and safety.

Manufacturers of CAM encounter numerous challenges due to the inclusion of various other chemicals in CAM, and the need to meet specific particle size distribution, preserve crystal structure, control surface area and porosity, and adhere to rigorous contaminant level specifications.

Watch our video to explore the transformative CAM process and understand how essential filtration enhances battery performance.

Pall Corporation offers a wide range of purification and filtration products to optimize manufacturing processes. Our filtration solutions improve product purity, achieve the desired crystal size, and effectively eliminate contaminants. This helps producers meet cell assembly specifications and boost production yields.

The process schematic for the CAM process below outlines the essential purification steps, beginning with raw materials, advancing through the precursor stage, and concluding with the final CAM product.
