Umicore and BASF enter into a patent cross-license agreement Umicore and BASF enter into a patent cross-license agreement Umicore and BASF have entered into a non-exclusive patent cross-license agreement covering a broad range of cathode materials and their precursors, including chemistries such as nickel manganese cobalt (NMC), nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA), nickel manganese cobalt aluminum (NMCA) and high manganese (HLM). Cathode materials are critical for the performance, safety and cost of lithium-ion batteries used in modern electromobility and other applications. The interplay between precursors and cathode materials and the development of these materials are crucial to maximize battery cell performance....
