About NOVONIX Cathode Materials
NOVONIX has commissioned a 10 tonnes per annum (tpa) pilot scale facility capability to demonstrate the scalability of its patented, all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis process for NMC cathode production. A commercial-scale engineering comparison study conducted by Hatch Ltd. estimated potential improvements over the conventional process.
- Capital expense intensity estimated nearly 30% lower
- Processing cost reductions estimated nearly 50% lower
- Estimated power consumption improvments of approximately 27%
- Removes the need for water in the material processing steps
- Eliminates other key waste byproducts including sodium sulphate
Our all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis process
With multiple patent applications filed, NOVONIX’s patented cathode synthesis process delivers NMC cathode synthesis technology for materials that are drop-in ready with conventional nickel-based cathode powders.
The pilot line has produced a mid-nickel grade of single-crystal cathode materials using the company’s process technology that matches the performance of leading cathode materials from existing suppliers in full-cell testing.
Discover All-Dry, Zero-Waste, Cathode Synthesis.
Our patented all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis technology (JP7504195B2) is the first of its kind, eliminating the need for precursor materials and directly converting raw metal feeds into finished NMC cathode active materials.

All-Dry, Zero-Waste Cathode Synthesis: Technology-Enabling Solutions to Sustainable, Low Cost Materials Production
Lithium-ion battery performance hinges on the cathode—the most expensive component of a battery cell. Nickel-based cathode materials (like NMC) offer a great balance of cost, performance, and safety for electric vehicles and energy storage, but traditional production methods are complex and generate significant waste.
NOVONIX has introduced a groundbreaking solution with its patented all-dry, zero-waste synthesis method. This innovative process produces single-crystal NMC powders without using any liquids, delivering performance comparable to conventional methods while reducing environmental impact.
In a recent webinar, Dr. Mark McArthur, NOVONIX’s Director of Cathode Technology for Battery Technology Solutions, shared insights into how this cutting-edge technology can optimize battery cost and sustainability.
