Advantages and benefits of iconos™ coatings
Easy handling in air
iconos™ is more stable and easier to handle than alkoxides and sols.
| iconosTM | alkoxide | sol | |
|---|---|---|---|
| stability |
period Stable for more than 1 year |
×x-mark (used to indicate an incorrect answer in a test, etc.) Altered by moisture |
weak Coagulation and sedimentation |
| handling |
period Can be used in atmospheric environments |
×x-mark (used to indicate an incorrect answer in a test, etc.) Glove box, etc. required |

×x-mark (used to indicate an incorrect answer in a test, etc.) Present in oxide particles |
Can be coated in any composition
When coating the active material surface with ICONOS™, it is possible to mix multiple elements in arbitrary ratios and control the thickness of the film.
The film can also suppress Mn elution and gas generation from cathode components in side reactions with the electrolyte.
INFORMATION
Composition Information
We have expertise in multiple dissolution techniques and additives, so we can adjust concentration and coating properties.
| name of product | concentration |
|---|---|
| Lithium niobate solution | ~5 wt% (as LiNbO3) |
| Lithium tantalate solution | ~5 wt% (as LiTaO3) |
| Lithium molybdate solution | ~5 wt% (as LiMoOx) |
| Lithium tungstate solution | ~5 wt% (as LiWOx) |
HOW TO USE
How to use
Coating on Mn-based cathode materials such as LMO and LNMO is possible.
It is also expected to be used in products for applications that have been difficult to commercialize due to Mn elution.
