Leclanché achieves breakthrough in environmentally friendly production of high-performance lithium-ion batteries
In doing so, Leclanché completely dispenses the use of the highly toxic organic solvents (NMP) that are otherwise common in the production process.

- "With the water-based production of the high-capacity NMCA cathodes, we have reached a decisive milestone in lithium-ion technology," emphasises Dr Hilmi Buqa, Vice President R&D at Leclanché.
- Thanks to the 10-30 per cent lower energy consumption, the Leclanché process also reduces the carbon footprint of battery cell production.
- Leclanché's new environmentally friendly G/NMCA cells are expected to be available on the market in 2024.
