Swiss energy storage provider Leclanché has developed a new Li-ion battery cell called XN50, which features Echion Technologies’ XNO, a niobium-based active anode material. “The cell provides integrators and OEMs with a differentiated battery option that outperforms existing chemistries in heavy-duty e-mobility, rail and marine applications,” says the company.
Leclanché is set to replace its current high-power lithium titanate (LTO) cell offering with XNO, and will offer a new set of battery module and pack solutions alongside its high-energy graphite/nickel manganese cobalt oxide (G/NMC) products.
Leclanché’s XN50 is commercially available now.
According to the company, the new cells deliver 50% higher energy density compared to LTO technologies, and maintain the highest safety and performance standards in extreme conditions. The XN50 cell can also deliver high power over an estimated cycle life of more than 10,000 cycles in heavy-duty applications. Studies have shown less than 3% capacity loss and less than 15% resistance growth after 1,000 2C/2C charge/discharge cycles at 45° C. Leclanché’s water-based cathode formulation ensures that the XN50 cell electrodes are free of PFAS.
“We are delighted to announce the launch of the world’s first commercial XNO Li-ion cell,” said Leclanché CEO Pierre Blanc. “XNO is soon set to displace the use of LTO within our product line, and it will complement our current G/NMC offering as the go-to fast charging battery solution for heavy-duty applications. We look forward to integrating XNO into our module and pack systems.”
“With XN50, Leclanché is setting a new standard for heavy-duty Li-ion batteries,” said Echion CEO Jean de La Verpilliere. “We have witnessed their exceptional drive, hard work and expertise first-hand over the last 3 years, and now look forward to seeing XN50 in the field at scale, which will enable end users to benefit from a battery specifically engineered for industrial and mass transportation applications.”
