Lanxess has developed a range of iron oxides for the production
of cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. The products have good morphological
characteristics and high reactivity. The latest development is a technical
iron oxide, Bayoxide E B 90. The products will contribute to the production
of batteries. The global market potential for batteries for electromobility
alone is expected to reach EUR 20 bn in 2020. The success of a battery is
also influenced by cathode technology.
